Best Time of Year to travel for your Italy Golf Vacation

Best months: Spring (April-June) and Fall (September-October) — more temperate, fewer crowds.

Summer can be hot especially in southern Italy; some courses might be busy or maintenance heavy.

Winter: some courses in north may close; southern / coastal courses tend to stay more open.

Where to Fly / Entry Points

Major hubs: Rome (Fiumicino), Milan (Malpensa, Linate), Venice.

If going to islands: flights to Palermo or Catania (Sicily), to Olbia or Cagliari (Sardinia).

Accommodation

Mix of golf resorts, boutique hotels, villas, maybe agriturismo (especially in Tuscany / Umbria) if you want something rustic.

If near major sightseeing spots, lodging will be more expensive. Factor in driving time to/from courses.

Travel Documents, Health, Insurance

Valid passport, check visa requirements depending on your nationality. EU citizens have different rules, non-EU need to check.

Travel insurance covering golf (clubs, injury), especially if doing more remote courses or if combining with outdoor adventures.

Transportation Within Country

Car rental gives maximum flexibility (especially in regions with many courses spread out). Or take one of our Escorted Golf Packages

Trains / domestic flights can help to move between major cities.
