A place where the landscape becomes part of the game.
Designed in 1989 by architect Luigi Rota Caremoli, it was the first 18-hole par-72 golf course to be built in Sicily.
This 5,870-meter course has holes set in volcanic rock terrain, a driving range, and putting and pitching greens, combining technical challenges with natural wonder. Playing here means entering into a unique dialogue with the power of the volcano and the tranquillity of its landscape.

History
The Club was founded in 1989 with the construction of Sicily's first golf course by famous architect Luigi Rota Caremoli, the only Italian architect to be admitted to the British society of Golf Course Architects. Rota Caremoli made the most of the 44 hectares of hilly terrain, masterfully integrating the technical challenges into the landscape, so much so that the course appears entirely natural. The course has had the honour of hosting five Opens: from 1995 to 1997, for three consecutive years, the Sicilian Ladies Italian Open; in 2010, a stage of the European Senior Tour; and in 2011, the Italian leg of the Sicilian Ladies Italian Open.
