The
golf club stands on the site where, in the 16th century, Pope Leo X -
in the world Giovanni De' Medici, had his private hunting ground. The course,
designed by Davide Mezzacane and Peter Fazio, is a very technical
course, rich in small mounts, bunkers, water barriers composed of
ditches and six lakes, the habitat of seagulls and herons. Along the
fairway of the 18th hole, in a circumscribed area we can see the remains
of a Roman house of the first century A.D. At disposal of club members
and guests there are large comfortable lounges, the lemon conservatory, a
games room a TV room, swimming pool, two lawn tennis courts and an
equipment room.
The
Golf Club Parco De' Medici also extends its hospitality to those who
are simply admirers of this sport and who feel that the peaceful atmosphere
of a country club, just a few minutes from the town, may be used for
business lunches or for a few hours' relaxation. Children under 12 are
not allowed in the club house or on the course.
Comment read on the Peugeot Golf Guide
The
18-hole course has been supplemented by a 9-holer (par 34) and was
partly laid out over a former hunting estate belonging to Pope Leon X in
the 15th century. For easy access, the course is within the immediate
vicinity of downtown Rome and the airport. The terrain is very flat but
the monotony is broken by contouring and the very many stretches of
water that are home to a good many birds and a resting place for even
more balls if you don't hit it straight. Rather long from the back-tees
and very exposed to the wind, the layout is much easier when you are
humble enough to move further forward, but somehow it doesn't leave a
lasting impression. Designed by David Mezzacane and Peter Fazio, Parco
de' Medici clearly portrays the highly strategic modern style of course
architecture with large, well-guarded greens and a preference for target
golf. A huge clubhouse, grand hotel, a pool and two grass tennis courts
complete the very high standard facilities here.
