Is Molas Golf Club is the largest golf course in Sardinia and it is considered as one of the finest golf courses in Italy. Is Molas Golf Club, in Santa Margherita di Pula has 27 holes: the eighteen holes of the championship course have been created out of a collaboration between the Cotton, Pennink & Partners studio and Piero Mancinelli; it is considered one of the most technically satisfying and spectacular courses not just in Italy, but in the whole of the Mediterranean area. The nine holes of the Yellow Course, the most difficult to play, have been laid out by Franco Piras, Gary Player Design’s representative in Italy.
The greens and bunkers are American in size and style, while the fairways are broad enough to forgive a slice. The presence, along the course, of all the typical species of Sardinia’s native flora and the Mediterranean macchia makes Is Molas Golf Club a beautiful garden with a view of the sea. Thanks to the proximity of the sea and the protection of the surrounding hills the locality of Is Molas enjoys a unique microclimate, mild and particularly favourable for golf all year round: the temperature reaches 20°C at the beginning of the spring, rises to over 30°C in summer time and even in December and January can easily exceed 15°C. Is Molas Golf Club was a venue for prestigious competitions: it has staged 4 Italian Opens and a European Volvo Masters. It has also given fame to Vijai Singh, who won the European Volvo Master in 1989.
