Solo Golf Holidays in Italy

The biggest question for any solo golfer is the same: who will I play with? On an Italian trip the answer is easy and low-pressure. If you want company, most courses are happy to pair a single player with others on the day, so you go out alongside fellow golfers. If you’d rather have the peace, a quieter morning often gives you a round to yourself. That part is the course’s decision on the day rather than something we arrange, but singles are well looked after across Italy and the welcome is genuinely warm.

We take care of everything around the golf. We build the trip around you, arranging the tee times, the hotel and the transfers so the whole thing runs itself, and if you’d like us to handle flights too we can add those as an optional extra. Tell us how social you want your week to be and we’ll pitch it exactly right, from quiet rounds with a relaxed resort crowd to a busy, full week of golf.

Everything we suggest is somewhere we genuinely book. In Sicily, Picciolo Etna Golf Resort & Spa sits in the shadow of Europe’s most active volcano, its home course, Il Picciolo Etna, winding through citrus groves and lava-black soil. Also in Sicily, Verdura Golf & Spa Resort is one of the Mediterranean’s finest golf addresses. The sprawling coastal estate has two championship layouts running down towards the sea, and for a solo golfer who wants a self-contained week with plenty going on it takes some beating.

Up in Tuscany, La Bagnaia Golf & Spa Resort near Siena pairs rolling Chianti countryside with a restorative spa, ideal if your solo trip is as much about unwinding as it is about scorecards. For memorable rounds further south, we’ll add the likes of San Domenico in Puglia and Acaya Golf Club to build a varied, properly Italian golf week.

Sardinia deserves a word of its own, because it may be the easiest Italian island to do alone. Is Molas Resort Hotel near Pula on the south coast puts you a short walk from the first tee at Is Molas, a Henry Cotton and Frank Pennick design, par 72, with the sort of quiet, settled atmosphere that suits a single golfer. Staying on site means no hire car and no logistics. Play in the morning, pool in the afternoon, and by day two the restaurant staff know your name.

Up on the Costa Smeralda, Pevero is the island’s glamour round, laid out by Robert Trent Jones. One honest note: green fees at Italy’s top end run higher than Turkey or the Algarve, and Pevero in high season is no exception. If the island appeals, our Sardinia golf holidays guide covers it in full, and our golf holidays in Italy guide sets out every region we arrange.

A solo trip should feel effortless, so we arrange the whole thing, hotel, tee times and airport transfers, into one itinerary with one point of contact. No piecing it together yourself, no chasing courses for tee times in a language you don’t speak. If you’d like us to arrange flights as well, we can add them as an optional extra, and any flights we book for you are ATOL protected.

Your money is held securely in trust with PTS until you have travelled, so the funds for your holiday stay ring-fenced until you’re actually there. Golfers join us from well beyond the UK, and Americans making a European golf trip of it are just as welcome. Pricing is confirmed in GBP, with everything quoted clearly before you commit.
