Marco Simone – Italy's first Ryder Cup venue

The stunning Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, located just 17km from the heart of the Italian capital Rome, will become the seventh nation to host the Ryder Cup, joining England, Scotland, Spain, Ireland, Wales and France when it hosts the famous event in 2023. The venue was built in the 1980s under the ownership of the fashion designer Laura Biagiotti and her husband Gianni Cigna, when 150 hectares of rolling Roman countryside was transformed into a prestigious golf course on the outskirts of the Eternal City.
