Montecastillo Golf Course with the hotel and castle on the right
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Montecastillo Golf was host to the European Tour's season-ending Volvo Masters from 1997-2001. Opened in 1991, the course features undulating terrain, raised teas, plateaued fairways, huge greens, large cloverleaf bunkers and water, which comes into play on 5 holes. The fairways and greens are kept in very good condition and the practice facilities are excellent.
RECENT IMPROVEMENTS (2019-20):
There are new bunkers and rough areas; they have recovered the original lake design of holes 7 and 8, and 10 and 17 that Jack Nicklaus described as one of the most spectacular places on this course. A new practice area was built in 2019 in order to accommodate Pro groups. A total area of 6,000 sqm divided in a 2 platform green, 500 square metres bunker and a tee area of 70 metres long. The rest is a huge zone of mowed grass where you can try approach shots up to 70 metres.
