Marco Simone Golf & Country Club near Rome is the venue that hosted the 2023 Ryder Cup. The original course dates to 1989 and was created by Jim Fazio with Italian architect David Mezzacane. Ahead of the Ryder Cup the championship course was comprehensively rerouted and rebuilt between 2018 and 2020.
European Golf Design, led on the project by Dave Sampson, directed the redesign, while Tom Fazio II acted as the owner's representative for construction management. The current championship course is par 72 and the club publishes a maximum length of 6,674 metres (7,299 yards). Its routing uses two returning nines, with the opening nine on relatively lower and more open ground and greater elevation change on the back nine.
The course is an 18-hole golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,674m (7,299 yards). Designed by Jim Fazio and David Mezzacane, the course originally opened in 1989. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Pro Shop, Restaurant, Clubhouse.
The course was created around the Marco Simone estate by Laura Biagiotti and Gianni Cigna. Jim Fazio and David Mezzacane developed the original design, which was completed in 1989.
After Rome secured the Ryder Cup, the championship course underwent a comprehensive reconstruction from 2018 to 2020. European Golf Design, with Dave Sampson leading its team, redesigned and rerouted the course. Tom Fazio II returned to the property as the owner's construction-management representative.
The Italian Golf Federation funded the renovation as part of the Ryder Cup project.
Marco Simone became the first golf course in Italy to host the Ryder Cup when Europe and the United States played the event there in September and October 2023.
The rebuilt championship course is a par-72 layout measuring up to 6,674 metres, with multiple teeing options intended to make the Ryder Cup venue usable for ordinary club and visitor golf.
