Castelgandolfo Golf Club

Castelgandolfo Golf Club unfolds across an ancient volcanic crater crowned by a 17th‑century villa built for Cardinal Flavio Chigi, nephew of Pope Alexander VII. Robert Trent Jones Sr. harnessed the land’s natural contours to create a championship‑caliber, 18‑hole parkland studded with 93 bunkers, three shimmering lakes, and sculpted hazards framed by centuries‑old olive groves, oaks, and maritime pines.

From the villa’s panoramic terrace, every fairway, green and water feature lies before you, as four hundred years of history echo through the solemn walls of the Clubhouse. Here, richly restored interiors blend frescoed ceilings and original stonework with contemporary comforts, inviting you to linger over espresso or celebrate a perfect round by the roaring fireplace.

As the Tuscan sun sinks behind the Alban Hills, the club’s chef transforms local ingredients—wild asparagus, Umbrian truffles, and extra‑virgin olive oil—into modern interpretations of Roman classics. Al fresco dinners on the garden terrace, under the vault of the night sky, remind you that Castelgandolfo is a journey through history, nature, and the enduring art of la dolce vita.
