3 Nights, 2 Rounds
Sheraton Golf Parco de' Medici is one of those rare Rome stays where you can genuinely do both: proper golf in the morning and a big-city afternoon without turning the trip into a logistical headache. The hotel sits right in the middle of a 27-hole complex, so you're not shuttling around for tee times, and it's a short drive from Fiumicino airport with Rome's historic centre around eight miles away.
The vibe is modern resort rather than old-school members' club, which suits a golf break nicely. You can keep things simple, roll out of bed, head to the first tee and then decide how "golf-heavy" the week needs to be. If you're travelling with non-golfers, you've also got an easy win: while you're chasing a score, they can be planning the Colosseum, the Vatican or just a long Roman lunch.
If you're building a wider itinerary, this is a very handy base for a golf holiday to Italy, especially for groups who want convenience, variety and a bit of sightseeing baked in.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want to combine quality golf with Rome sightseeing, couples looking for a trip that works for golfers and non-golfers alike, and groups who value convenience, variety and the chance to play multiple rounds without travelling far from a major city.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers who want accessible, enjoyable golf on well-kept courses, travellers prioritising location and ease of access over championship-level challenge, and anyone planning a Rome city break who still wants to fit in a few rounds.
Please note: the golf club is closed on Tuesdays.

The Blue Course is the most challenging of the three loops at the resort, and at 3,247 yards, is also the longest. There are a number of lakes that certainly beautify the landscape, but also provide dangerous obstacles. Walking up the closing fairway, you may notice the remains of an ancient Roman settlement.
| White | 3,361 metres |
|---|---|
| Yellow | 3,225 metres |
| Black | 2,991 metres |
| Red | 2,838 metres |
The White Course - 3,057 yards - also boasts an impressive historical anecdote; the layout covers land that was the favoured hunting ground of Pope Leo X in the 15th century. As for the course today, the expanses of water that infringe upon many holes can seriously upset the scorecard.
| White | 3,056 metres |
|---|---|
| Yellow | 2,877 metres |
| Black | 2,718 metres |
| Red | 2,569 metres |
The Red Course is the shortest at Parco de' Medici, measuring a modest 2,805 yards, but it is perhaps the most interesting of the resort's three loops. As with the Blue and White courses, Italian design team consulted American architectural legend Peter Fazio, and have created a great little course that will challenge golfers to use every club in the bag.
| Yellow | 2,689 metres |

| Red | 2,414 metres |
| Blue | 2,342 metres |
| Green | 2,137 metres |
With 782 rooms and suites, Sheraton Golf Parco de' Medici is a sizeable four-star resort built to handle everything from quick stopovers to full-on society trips. Décor is clean and modern in soft pastel tones, with the essentials you'd expect: air conditioning, satellite TV, mini-bar, in-room safe and spacious bathrooms with robes and slippers. If you can, it's worth upgrading for a room with a patio overlooking the course, it's a nicer wake-up view and tends to feel a touch quieter than the main building.
Facilities are solid for downtime between rounds. There's an outdoor pool for warmer months, plus a gym and sauna in the leisure area and a tennis court if your group fancies a change of pace. It's a proper resort setup, built to keep you on site if you want to relax after a day exploring Rome or between morning and afternoon rounds.
Food-wise, you've got two easy on-site options: Savoia Restaurant for a more polished, hotel-style dinner with a gourmet menu, and the Club House for relaxed meals with a mix of international and regional Italian dishes. Both are solid choices, though if you're heading into Rome for the evening, Uno e Bino near the San Lorenzo University area is a lively shout for traditional Italian recipes in the student quarter.
The big win is still location: close to the airport for painless arrival and departure days and close enough to Rome for sightseeing without paying city-centre prices. You're eight miles from central Rome, so day trips are straightforward, but you're far enough out to avoid the noise and expense of staying in the historic centre. The resort's position between the golf courses and the city gives you flexibility to structure your trip however you like: golf-heavy, sightseeing-heavy, or an even split of both.
For golfers, the setup works well. You can walk to the first tee, play 18 or 27 holes depending on your schedule, and be back at the hotel or on your way into Rome within minutes. The scale of the resort means it handles groups comfortably, and the range of room types and dining options makes it suitable for couples, societies and mixed-ability groups who want a base that covers all the basics without fuss. Needless to say, if you're looking to combine serious golf with a proper Italian city break, this is one of the most convenient options in the country.
