Circolo del Golf Roma Acquasanta

Italy’s oldest course, laid out by British diplomats, is a parkland layout within Rome inspired by ancient British links courses. Gentle undulations create interesting holes flanked by trees and views of the mausoleum of Cecilia Metella and glimpses of nearby Roman aqueducts. Acquasanta has hosted three Italian Opens, but it’s short by modern standards, tipping out at 6,500 yards. It’s a fun but challenging layout with 400-plus-yard par 4s and a devilish creek that comes into play on half a dozen holes.
