Where is the DP World Tour’s Italian Open being held? All you need to know about the Marco Simone GC

The DP World Tour will head to Rome for the 2023 Italian Open, which will take place from May 4 to 7 at Marco Simone Golf Club.

This will be the third time Marco Simone Golf and Country Club will host the Italian Open in history. It hosted the Italian Open for the first time in 1994 and was home to the event in 2021.

Named after the castle of Marco Simone, the golf course was designed by Jim Fazio and David Mezzacane. The club won its bid to host the 2023 Ryder Cup in 2015. Hence, it was redesigned by European Golf Design in association with Tom Fazio II, son of architect Jim Fazio.

The club is owned by architect Laura Biagiotti and her husband Gianni Cigna and is built on 150 hectares.

The main course is a par-72 18-hole course surrounded by the beauty of its nature, especially the rolling Italian countryside. There is another nine-hole resort course in the club.
