With the Solheim Cup ending, the golf world is welcoming another exciting event. The most significant biennial golf event this season is just around the corner. The 44th edition of the Ryder Cup is taking place in Rome, Italy. The players have landed and are prepared to showcase their patriotism.  

Fans and players alike are expressing more interest and worry about the demanding and hilly course, as the excitement grows around the event. Let’s dive in and see what the fans have to say!

How’s the Marco Simone Golf Course holding up for the Ryder Cup?

The 44th Ryder Cup will take place at the Marco Simone, Rome, Italy. The cup is commencing from the 29th of September to the 1st of October. This is the first time that Italy is hosting the Ryder Cup. The course has held three Italy Opens in the past. 

The European players are quite familiar with the course. As the players landed in Italy, the Americans, too, had their fair chance to familiarize themselves with it. 

The Marco Simone is a harsh and unforgiving golf course. The temperatures are rising high and even the European captain has shown concerns with his decision to rest players more. Team US vice-captain, Stewart Cink, also claimed that the Marco Simone is “probably the most demanding physically of any (Ryder) Cup course I’ve ever seen.”
