Green Fees in Rome and Lazio in 2026
Rome charges Ryder Cup money for exactly one round: the Championship course at Marco Simone, around 270 euro in 2026. Everything else in Lazio is honest value, from Olgiata's West course at 130 to 160 euro and the 1903 fairways of Acquasanta around 140, down to 55 euro weekday golf on Olgiata's East nine. Here is the whole fee picture, course by course.

The short answer
Budget around 270 euro for Marco Simone and 55 to 160 for everything else. The 2023 Ryder Cup turned one suburban course into a pilgrimage with a pilgrimage price, but it left the rest of Roman golf untouched: a ring of dignified members clubs and modern championship courses that price like a regional Italian city, not a capital. A five round Rome week that plays the Ryder Cup course once, takes Acquasanta's aqueducts and Olgiata's West midweek, and finishes in Castelgandolfo's crater costs less in total fees than two rounds at the trophy resorts of Sardinia or the Algarve, with the greatest city in the world between tee times. Every figure here is third party pricing gathered in June 2026; fees move with season and demand, so always confirm directly before booking.

What you are paying for, course by course
Marco Simone, the Ryder Cup premium
The Championship course at Marco Simone, rebuilt by European Golf Design with Tom Fazio II for the 2023 Ryder Cup and host of three DS Automobiles Italian Opens, is the round Rome trips are now built around, and it prices accordingly at about 270 euro. What the fee buys is walking the amphitheater hillsides where Europe won in 2023, including the drivable 16th that produced the week's theater. The booking is public and the demand is global, so it is the first tee time to fix in any Rome plan; spring and autumn dates go weeks out.
Olgiata and Acquasanta, the classic clubs
Rome's two great members clubs receive visitors on civilized terms. Olgiata, the C.K. Cotton design from 1961 that hosted the 1968 World Cup, lists its tournament West course at 130 euro on weekdays and 160 on holidays, with the shorter East nine from 55, and restricts weekend play. Circolo del Golf Roma Acquasanta, founded in 1903 on turf first played in the 1880s, is the oldest course in Italy, with Roman aqueducts striding through the property and St Peter's dome on the horizon; it receives visitors by arrangement, generally on weekdays, at an indicative 140 euro. Both are jacket in the clubhouse places, and better for it.
Castelgandolfo, Terre dei Consoli and the value bench
The Castelli Romani hold the region's most scenic inland round: Castelgandolfo, where Robert Trent Jones Sr laid eighteen holes inside the bowl of an extinct volcano beneath the papal summer town, with a 17th century villa for a clubhouse; it prices in the local mid band. North at Monterosi, Terre dei Consoli is the modern examination, a near 7,000 meter Robert Trent Jones Jr championship course and Challenge Tour venue whose weekend rates have listed near 70 euro, the best quality to price ratio in the region. Closest to the city, the 27 holes of Parco de' Medici give a serviceable arrival or departure round fifteen minutes from the center at value rates.
How to time it, and how to save
Lazio golf runs twelve months; the Ryder Cup was played in late September for a reason. April to June and September to November are prime, when Marco Simone needs the longest lead time and the members clubs fill with society days. July and August bring 30 degree city heat but quiet courses and softer rates for early starters, and winter is mild, open and the cheapest window of all. The structural saves are midweek play, since both Olgiata and Acquasanta price and admit more generously Monday to Friday, and sequencing: one headline fee at Marco Simone, the classics around it, the value rounds at the edges.
