2024 Italian Open venue
For the previous three editions, the tournament was hosted by Marco Simone but this year Adriatic Golf Club is organising the event for the first time. The golf club was founded in 1984 with a unique layout. The red, yellow, and blue courses can be mixed.
The three courses are significantly artistic in their own way. Starting with the blue course, it is similar to the Scottish links with coastal areas. The yellow one has a modern design and gives a tough time to the players. The red course is American-style, with several hurdles for the players.
