Is Arenas Golf & Country Club

Nestled among the sand dunes of an extraordinary 1,100-hectare pine forest along Sardinia’s spectacular west coast, Is Arenas Golf & Country Club stands as one of Europe’s most magnificent golfing destinations. This hidden jewel, with five kilometers of untouched Mediterranean coastline, offers an exclusive retreat where natural beauty and world-class golf exist in perfect harmony.

Designed by world-renowned architects Robert Von Hagge, Smelek & Baril, the spectacular 18-hole, par-72 championship course stretches over 6,300 meters and is ranked among Europe’s most breathtaking by the prestigious international Rolex guide. Each hole presents a different landscape, elegantly framed by ancient pine and juniper forests, immersing players in the heart of Sardinia’s unspoiled wilderness.

The course demands—and rewards—elegant play, strategic thinking, and precise execution. Every hole offers a unique and thrilling challenge, with the layout draped across a sumptuous landscape that showcases the natural beauty of this remarkable setting. Complementing the championship course is a 3-hole par-3 executive course and a professional driving range, providing complete facilities for players of all levels.

In 2013, Is Arenas achieved a significant milestone as the first course in Italy to receive the European environmental certification “Geo on Course” from the Golf Environment Organization. The club has garnered numerous accolades, currently ranking as #1 in Sardinia and #13 in Italy according to Top 100 Golf Courses international ranking, and placing 16th in “The 20 Most Beautiful Golf Courses in Italy” by Mondo del Golf magazine.

The climate at Is Arenas is exceptionally favorable for year-round golf  and a gentle maestrale breeze frequently refreshes the pine forest during summer months, ensuring particularly pleasant evenings.

Accommodations at Is Arenas Private Golf and Foresterie Boutique Resort offer subtle sophistication hidden among a canopy of trees. The exclusive Foresteria Casa degli Ulivi provides an intimate hideaway with two junior suites and two double rooms surrounded by a beautiful olive tree garden. With room for just 40 guests, the resort ensures personalized attention and exceptional care throughout your stay.

The resort features one of Sardinia’s most impressive beaches, with a private beach club equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas reserved exclusively for guests. After your round, enjoy a quick lunch at the beach bar nestled behind the sand dunes, easily accessible by golf cart, bicycle, or on foot.

Is Arenas offers the ideal retreat for those seeking nature, relaxation, and exceptional golf in one of the Mediterranean’s most pristine environments—truly a golfer’s paradise on Sardinia’s enchanting shores.
