Masseria Cimino Golf Hotel Italy Golf Holidays Puglia Italy

From the first hole of the San Domenico Golf Corse, one can already catch a glimpse of a red tower in the distance, which stands out against the intense blue of the sky and the sea that surrounds it.

One is driven by curiosity while approaching it and only at the 8th hole you reach it. It is the Masseria Cimino, a 18th century building, now consigned to San Domenico Golf as its guest House, for those passionate golfers who can’t envisage being too far away from the course.

Rooms and Suites
The Masseria has 15 rooms, some of which are located in the ancient tower and others in the old farmhouse adjacent to the archaeological site, which has just recently been unearthed and which form part of the slaves’ dwellings in the ancient city of Egnatia. The walls of this ancient city form part of the boundaries of this property.

Double Rooms
The rooms have been furnished in a fresh Mediterranean style and are equipped with flat screen Tv, minibar, safe and all have individually controlled air conditioning and marble bathrooms.

Some of the rooms have a beautiful fireplace and others have balconies with a little terrace overlooking the golf course and with a view of the nearby Adriatic sea.

San Domenico Golf - 18 holes
The “San Domenico Golf” course lies near the small fisherman village of Savelletri, with its southern boundary as close to the sea as the road and rocky coastline will allow. To the north are the olive groves and agricultural fields the site was once part of. The formerly flat and featureless land is now a challenging 18 hole golf course which offers an unforgettable experience for visitors and superb view of the Adriatic Sea from every tee, green and fairway.

Designed by “European Golf Design”, the course measures over 6300 meters, has a par of 72 and has been constructed to the highest standards, with greens conforming to USGA Specifications.  As it is to be expected from a golf course so close to the sea, wind can play a significant role in the challenge of the course.

Together with strategic bunkering, definitive fairway shaping and clever green design, a thought provoking test of golf has been set.  This is complemented by incorporating local plants into the design of the course, which can be seen occupying great waste areas weaving their way in and around the golf holes.

These are areas where local rock, has been left in place, having first been crushed to a granular material and re-contoured to become part of the species common to this region, thereby ensuring that the golf course retains a local identity.
