About Is Molas Resort Golf Club
Stay and play at the Is Molas golf course with its on-site hotel, one of the most famous golf courses in Italy and its islands. Thanks to the proximity of the sea and the protection of the surrounding hills, Is Molas enjoys a unique microclimate; mild and particularly favourable for golf all year round with winter temperatures not below 50 F and summer temperatures reaching the mid 80’s.
The great Henry Cotton and the renowned Frank Pennick (of Vilamoura Old and Noordwijk in Holland fame) designed the golf course and it’s a gem: the greens and bunkers are American in size and style, while the fairways are broad enough to forgive a slice (and most hooks too!). The Is Molas Championship course is considered technically challenging and the views and setting make it rather spectacular. Is Molas has hosted four Italian Opens and a European Volvo Masters.

Our take
With 27 holes, a hotel on site and a microclimate mild enough for golf in January, Is Molas is made for an easy stay-and-play trip.
- Serious golfersFrank Pennick of Vilamoura fame and Henry Cotton laid this out, and it remains one of Italy's best-known courses; the 12th and the 15th are where scoring usually unravels.
- Higher handicapsThere is a fair bit of up and down, over 100 metres of climb across the round, so plenty of visitors take a buggy and save their legs for the back nine.
- SocietiesTwenty-seven holes and an on-site hotel mean nobody drives anywhere all week, and the hill-sheltered microclimate keeps it playable when most of northern Europe has packed the clubs away.
Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.
What you are actually facing
The walk. Moderate. 110 metres of climb over the round.
The wind. The wind is usually north-westerly, averaging 9 km/h, gusting to 33. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
The water. 3 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.
The design. Henry Cotton and Frank Pennick.
The holes that will cost you. The 12th, the 15th and the 16th. The 12th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.

Is Molas Resort Golf Club: your questions answered
Is Is Molas worth playing?
Yes, if you want one of the most famous courses in Italy with the convenience of a hotel on the property. Is Molas suits golfers who prefer a settled resort base to a touring itinerary, and its favourable year-round climate makes it a sensible pick outside the peak summer months too. Groups on longer stays get extra value from the 27 holes.
Who designed the golf course at Is Molas?
Is Molas was designed by Henry Cotton and Frank Pennick, two respected names in course architecture. The course plays to a par of 72 and there are 27 holes in total, which is useful on a longer stay because you are not repeating an identical 18 every day. It is a resort course, with the hotel part of the same property.
Can you stay on site at Is Molas?
Yes. Is Molas is a stay-and-play resort with its own on-site hotel, so there is no daily travel between your accommodation and the course. If you would like to mix in rounds at other Sardinian courses, your Golf Planet Holidays specialist can build those into the trip and arrange the transfers between the hotel and the courses.
When is the best time of year to play at Is Molas?
Golf at Is Molas is realistic all year round. The nearby sea and the shelter of the surrounding hills give the course a microclimate of its own, with winter temperatures that do not tend to fall below 10C (50F) and summer highs around the mid 80s Fahrenheit, roughly 29C. Do pack layers for winter rounds though; mild is not the same as warm.
