We highly recommend visiting Palermo for golf in the spring, from April to May, or in the fall, during September and October. You'll find the weather perfectly mild for a comfortable round, avoiding the intense Sicilian summer heat while still enjoying plenty of sunshine. The courses are typically in fantastic shape during these shoulder seasons.

It's an ideal destination for a focused golf trip where you can truly appreciate each course without feeling rushed.
