Borgo di Luce – I Monasteri Golf

Set amidst the intoxicating scents of Mediterranean citrus, myrtle, and laurel, Borgo di Luce I Monasteri Golf Resort offers an enchanting golfing experience just 18km from historic Syracuse. This magnificent 18-hole par 71 course, stretching 6520 yards through a plantation of orange, mandarin, lemon, and prickly pear trees, creates a vibrant sensory journey through one of Sicily’s most captivating landscapes.

Masterfully designed by architects David Mezzacane—president of the Italian Association of Golf Course Architects—and Vincenzo Mazzacane, the course has recently undergone significant enhancements to elevate your playing experience. Recent improvements include new drainage systems and sand installation in all green bunkers, core aeration and smoothing to create more compact, smooth and responsive greens, extensive fairway maintenance to enhance the Bermuda grass turf, ongoing irrigation upgrades, and forthcoming maintenance to widen the tee boxes.

This Mediterranean paradise invites you to immerse yourself in the perfect blend of sporting challenge and natural tranquility. As you play each hole, lose yourself in expanses of greenery while the Sicilian sun warms your shoulders and fragrant citrus perfumes the air around you.

The resort itself occupies a converted Benedictine monastery, offering elegant accommodations with air conditioning, 32-inch flat-screen satellite TVs, and select rooms featuring furnished patios with stunning views. After your round, indulge in the comprehensive wellness center with its mini whirlpool, Turkish bath, sensory shower, and sauna—the perfect way to rejuvenate tired muscles.

Culinary delights await at the resort’s two restaurants specializing in authentic Sicilian cuisine, complemented by an excellent wine selection showcasing the region’s finest vintages. The famous wine-producing town of Avola is just a 20-minute drive away, providing another dimension to your gastronomic exploration.
