I Monasteri stands out with its ancient olive groves and the remnants of a Roman aqueduct integrated into the landscape - it's a truly historic setting. The biggest challenge lies in navigating the subtle undulations and strategically placed bunkers, demanding precise shot-making rather than brute force. You'll need to think your way around this course.

When is the best time to visit I Monasteri for ideal playing conditions and a pleasant overall experience?

We highly recommend visiting in spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October). The weather is wonderfully mild then, perfect for golf, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat and larger crowds. The course will be in pristine condition, and the surrounding landscape is at its most beautiful.

Expect green fees to be in line with other high-quality Italian resort courses, typically ranging from €80-€120 depending on the season and time of day. We find it offers excellent value; you're paying for a meticulously maintained course, stunning historical surroundings, and a top-tier resort experience. Consider a stay-and-play package for the best deal.

Don't leave without trying some local olive oil, often produced right on the estate, and a glass of Primitivo wine.
