Acqua Santa Golf Club Course, Golf course along Via Appia in Rome, Italy.
Acqua Santa Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course in Rome spanning approximately 5,850 meters. The layout is bordered by Mediterranean pines, cypresses, and eucalyptus trees that frame the narrow fairways throughout the property.
The course was established in 1903 by British expatriates as Italy's first golf facility, initially with 9 holes. It expanded to a full 18-hole layout in 1913.
The course blends British golfing traditions with the Italian landscape, and several fairways offer views of ancient Roman structures. Visitors can see how the game adapts here to its historic surroundings.
The course is open Tuesday through Sunday between 8:00 and 19:00 for both members and visiting golfers. You can use the Via Appia as a reference point when arriving, and prepare appropriate equipment for the shaded fairways.
The Almone river crosses several holes, creating natural water hazards that affect play. The ancient Claudian Aqueduct is visible from various fairways, placing the course within a broader historical context.
