Terre dei Consoli Golf Club
One of the most ambitious modern courses around Rome blends resort ease with real championship intent
Terre dei Consoli Golf Club is one of the clearest examples of contemporary Roman-area golf done with ambition. In the countryside north of the capital, Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s championship course brings broad shaping, water, elevation and a distinctly modern sense of drama to a landscape that still feels recognisably Lazio rather than artificially international. The routing is central to the club's value: it is generous enough to feel expansive, technical enough to remain credible, and varied enough to stay interesting over repeat play. What makes Terre dei Consoli especially useful in the Italian golf map is its balance. It can function as a serious sporting destination, but also as an accessible extension of a Rome stay, without requiring the ritual or exclusivity of the capital's older circles. For golfers who want a high-level round within reach of Rome and prefer contemporary architecture to historical patina, it is one of the strongest missing pieces.
At Terre dei Consoli, the middle stretch is where discipline matters most: the course invites aggression, but often rewards players who accept a more measured plan.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Calcata Vecchia — Borgo d'artisti sulla Valle del Treja
After Terre dei Consoli, Calcata offers an unexpected counterpoint: a tufa village suspended above the Treja valley, filled with artist studios, darkened stone and a side of Lazio far less obvious than the monumental urban one. Its strength lies in the modest scale and slightly irregular, almost anarchic atmosphere that sets it apart from more domesticated historic centres.
“Go on a weekday in the late afternoon and stay until the workshops start to close: it is in that transition, between the cliff edge and the tuff-stone lanes, that Calcata stops feeling like an excursion and becomes a real place again.”
Tuscia viterbese — Nocciole, vini e tavola di campagna
The area between Monterosi and the Tuscia shapes a post-round experience of continuous hazelnut groves, Latium reds, olive oil and rural tables that feel more intelligent than flashy. It is not a territory built on globally famous labels but on agricultural coherence, which is exactly why it works so well after a contemporary course like Terre dei Consoli.
“A small, focused stop works best here, with wine, olive oil and something built around local hazelnuts or cured meats: in the Tuscia, the agricultural harmony of the setting matters more than winery theatrics.”
Lago di Bracciano — Sosta serale sul lungolago
Lake Bracciano adds real air, water and a faintly northern-Lazio quality to a well-composed Roman countryside stay. It does not need to be treated as the main attraction; it works better as a pause of light, wind and silence after a demanding round.
“You do not need the full circuit of the lake: reach a quiet stretch of waterfront toward evening, walk very little and let the wind and light close the day better than any extra programme could.”
Sutri — Il santuario etrusco tagliato nel tufo
On the edge of Sutri, carved into the tufa as if forgotten by three civilizations, stands the sanctuary of the Madonna del Parto: an Etruscan tomb converted into a Roman temple and then a Christian church, all within a single cavity of stone. Light enters from one opening alone, and the smell of ancient rock accompanies every step. Nearby, the Roman amphitheater — also hewn entirely from the cliff — rivals any monument in the Capital.
“Come in the late afternoon, when tour groups have already left and the site returns to the silence it deserves.”
Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo — Il giardino dei giganti di pietra
In 1552, Pier Francesco Orsini commissioned a garden of colossi carved from peperino stone — gaping mouths open to the sky, elephants crushing warriors, a tilted house that disorients — as a personal monument to grief and madness. The Sacro Bosco is the most unsettling artwork of the Italian Renaissance, still set within the original woodland as if time snagged on something. Salvador Dalí was obsessed by it; understanding why takes less than an hour among its quiet paths.
“Arrive right at opening to find the Mouth of Hell entirely to yourself — sitting inside it is an unwritten tradition.”
Terme di Stigliano — Acque sulfuree tra boschi e silenzio
Hidden among the Lazio countryside just a few kilometers from Lake Bracciano, Terme di Stigliano is the kind of place Romans keep quietly to themselves. Sulfurous waters rise warm from the earth, surrounded by dense vegetation and an atmosphere that feels genuinely timeless. The body unwinds and the mind, at last, goes quiet.
“Come early on a weekday morning — the outdoor pools are nearly empty and you can ease between temperatures at your own pace.”
