Is Molas Golf Resort

Set against a breathtaking backdrop on Sardinia’s stunning southern coast, Is Molas Golf Resort stands as the island’s most prestigious golfing destination. Located just a short distance from Cagliari and nestled within the Regional Park of Gutturu Mannu, this magnificent resort offers a true Mediterranean experience in a panoramic setting that captivates and enchants all who visit.

For over three decades, Is Molas has been the undisputed reference point for golf in Sardinia and consistently ranks among Italy’s top 10 courses, recognized as one of the finest in Europe and the entire Mediterranean. As the largest golf complex on the island with its impressive 27 holes, Is Molas isn’t merely a golf club—it’s a place that fascinates and engages players from around the world.

The original course and club were conceived in the early 1970s by the prestigious design firm Cotton, Pennink & Partners, with the club’s grand opening in 1975 marking a significant milestone for southern Sardinia. Is Molas quickly established its international reputation by hosting the Italian Open in 1976 and throughout the 1980s the championship course was considered among the world’s top 100, further cementing its prestige by hosting the 1989 Volvo Master won by rising star Vijay Singh.

In 1999, the complex expanded with the creation of the Yellow Course designed by Franco Piras, Associated Designer and representative of Gary Player Design for the Mediterranean area. Since celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2005, the club has continued to host major international events including the European Teams Girl Championship, Alps Tour, and Italian International Amateur Championship.

The resort features a modern and elegant Club House complete with restaurant, bar, and a delightful pool club—a discreet and relaxing space perfect for end-of-day aperitifs. Le Mole Restaurant offers creative Mediterranean cuisine based on local Sardinian products, with a panoramic terrace providing spectacular views. During competitions or private events, guests can enjoy the convenient buvette service located at the 9th hole.

Practice facilities include a comprehensive driving range with thirty stations, bunkers, and obstacles that replicate championship course conditions. The putting and pitching greens, spacious and meticulously maintained, are beautifully framed by Sardinia’s characteristic native vegetation.

Is Molas is the ideal place to learn golf in Sardinia, featuring the Dan Williamson Golf Academy—the only facility on the island equipped with Dartfish technology for digital swing analysis.

Just hours by flight from Europe’s major capitals via Cagliari-Elmas International Airport, which operates year-round, Is Molas Golf Resort is the perfect destination for golf enthusiasts seeking Mediterranean excellence.
