Best Golf Resorts in Sardinia for a Luxury Golf Holiday (2026 Guide)

The Best Luxury Golf Resorts in Sardinia: A Complete Guide

If you're planning a premium golf getaway, few destinations compare to Sardinia. With its crystal-clear coastline, year-round mild climate, and world-class golf courses, Sardinia has become one of Europe's most exclusive golf holiday destinations.

At Solendra Golf Holidays, we specialise in helping you discover the best golf resorts tailored to your style — whether you're after championship courses, luxury resorts, or relaxing coastal golf experiences.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the top golf resorts in Sardinia and help you choose the right one for your trip.

1. Pevero Golf Club & Costa Smeralda Luxury Resorts

Located in the prestigious Costa Smeralda region, Pevero Golf Club is widely considered the most exclusive golf course in Sardinia — and one of the most spectacular in the world.

The course was commissioned by the Aga Khan and designed by renowned American architect Robert Trent Jones. Opened in 1972, it was chosen just six years later as the venue for the Italian Open. On a clear day, players enjoy views across the turquoise sea all the way to Corsica.

The course plays at 18 holes, par 72, and is technically demanding — with six holes featuring lakes or ponds, narrow fairways requiring precision, and the signature bean-shaped greens that are the hallmark of Trent Jones's designs. When the northwest Mistral wind blows, even experienced golfers find it a stern test.

The Clubhouse offers a panoramic terrace overlooking the gulf of Pevero and Cala di Volpe Bay, surrounded by natural ponds, juniper, myrtle and arbutus berries.

Why it stands out:

• Ranked by Golf Magazine among the Top 50 Golf Courses in the World
• Panoramic sea views across multiple holes, with Corsica visible on clear days
• Championship design by Robert Trent Jones Sr., one of the most celebrated architects in golf history
• Surrounded by the finest luxury resorts and villas on the Costa Smeralda
• Venue for the 1978 Italian Open

Best for: Luxury travellers, experienced golfers, and high-end golf holidays in Costa Smeralda.

2. Is Molas Golf Resort (South Sardinia)

Is Molas Resort has been the reference point for golf in Sardinia for over 30 years. Its 27-hole course is considered one of the most technical and spectacular in the Mediterranean, frequented each year by golf enthusiasts from around the world. Ismolas

The main 18-hole course (par 72, 6,383 metres) was designed by architects Cotton, Pennink & Partners and inaugurated in 1975. The additional 9-hole course was designed by Franco Piras. Golfers of note who have played Is Molas include Ian Woosnam and Bernhard Langer, while it was here that Vijay Singh announced himself with victory in the 1989 Volvo Open.

The course has hosted the Italian International Open in 1976, 1982, 2000, and 2001.

Is Molas benefits from a unique microclimate: the surrounding mountains shield the course from the cold northern wind, making it playable year-round. The resort has 84 well-sized bedrooms with balconies or terraces, two restaurants serving Italian and Sardinian cuisine, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a private beach a short drive away. ‍

Highlights:

• 27-hole championship course designed by Cotton, Pennink & Partners
• Four-time host of the Italian Open and venue for the 1989 European Volvo Masters
• Golf Academy featuring Trackman technology for swing analysis
• Mild microclimate suitable for golf throughout the year
• 30 km from Cagliari — easily accessible from the airport

Best for: Serious golfers, couples and small groups, extended golf stays, and those who want luxury without the crowds of the north.
