It's a truly immersive experience that feels distinctly Italian, not just another golf course.

Is renting a golf buggy essential at Il Pelagone, or is it easily walkable?

While we always encourage walking when possible, we strongly recommend a buggy at Il Pelagone, especially if you're playing 18 holes.
