Mansion built in the seventeenth century overlooks the crater of an extinct volcano. The residence, originally commissioned by Cardinal Flavio Chigi, is now considered the most charming club house among golf clubs; the crater, thanks to the creative flair of Robert Trent Jones Sr., has been transformed into a challenging golf course, full of intriguing technical features. The naturally laid ground has been endowed with one hundred and one tricks among centenarian olive trees, oaks and cluster pines. The balcony of the club house offers a fascinating and complete panorama of the course: the 18 holes can be embraced in a single look, giving the feeling of an intimate and evocative atmosphere, while four centuries of history provide protection within the walls of the club house and the seafront shines in the background. In the charming halls as well as on the delightful garden of the terrace takes place the performance of Simone Succini, Chef of the restaurant, whose recipes of revisited regional cuisine fulfill the gusto of every guest.
Birth of the golf course
At the bottom of the citadel, where the hills slope down to the shores of Anzio and Nettuno, a lake, later dried, formed inside the old volcanic crater. During the Roman Imperial Age the swamp is converted into cultivable land irrigated by water from the Castel Gandolfo lake making it possible the cultivation of orchards and flower gardens. Robert Trent Jones Senior designes and builds in this location a wonderful 18-hole Golf Course in full respect of the existing environment, laying the fairways within a frame of vineyards, rose gardens, mimosa, Mediterranean pines, cypress and olive trees.The Club House is now housed in the villa originally built for Cardinal in Sassia Flavio Chigi, a nephew of Pope Alessandro VII, to host a beautiful lady called "la Pavona", Italian word for a female peacock. “La Pavona” is still the name of the villa and of the place.
