Golf Nazionale
Golf Nazionale
Golf Nazionale is the heart of Italian championship golf. Located in the tranquil countryside near Viterbo, about an hour north of Rome, it serves as the official home of the Italian Golf Federation and represents the pinnacle of modern Italian design. Created by George and Jim Fazio in 1990, the course has earned consistent recognition among Europe’s finest for its technical brilliance and natural beauty.
The layout flows across rolling hills and valleys, framed by olive trees, lakes, and distant mountains. Fairways are sculpted with subtle elevation changes, and greens are firm and quick, demanding thoughtful strategy on every approach. The design is elegant and balanced, blending challenge with serenity in a way that rewards creativity and precision. From its elevated tees to its perfectly framed finishing hole, Golf Nazionale reflects both the discipline and artistry of Italian golf.
Cypress and Salt curates Golf Nazionale escapes that pair championship play with refined Roman leisure. Guests enjoy five star accommodations in Rome or countryside villas, curated dining featuring Lazio’s culinary heritage, and private excursions through ancient towns and vineyards. Golf Nazionale is Italian golf at its purest, defined by grace, geometry, and quiet grandeur.
