Beautiful and peaceful golf course and Foresteria embedded in a splendid nature and pinewood forrest
Reviewed October 18, 2021
We spend 1 week in Is Arenas golf and Foresterie Boutique Resort (Foresteria degli ulivi). We had a very pleasant stay and Sardinian vacations there! When we arrived, we had a very warm welcome from Ilona and got introduced to the whole team. We received an enchanting "Mediterranean" room with lot of attention to details. The cook (Monica) did an excellent job and spoiled us every evening with a new refined Sardinian dinner with fresh and very local food! Extra beverages (wine or soda) and e.g. sandwiches for lunchtime were available for decent prices (and they very good too!).
The golf course and the Foresteria degli Ulivi were greatly embedded in the pinewoods. The private beach was in 5-10min walking distance. The whole area is extremely calm and the nature respected. There were basically no other tourists around.
The course was immaculate. As there were not many people we could start and play whenever we wanted. There was no stress and time to enjoy the nature and the beauty of the course… and to search for balls in the rough… (the fairways are rather narrow and a straight drive is favorable ;-)). But if you don’t locate your ball, then maybe a turtle can be found in the rough and make you happy again. We had a calm and relaxing time there. An experience that should certainly be repeated.

We visited the place a few days ago, we were practically alone on the place running around the forest, unique!
Great condition of the fairways and greens.

The dream of golf connoisseurs
Reviewed September 6, 2023
The title says it all... design, maintenance, hospitality and charm in a unique enclave. The course is wonderful and its condition is spectacular, with white you have to be very much in the game to make a good score, but it is a constant challenge, hitting well has its reward, hitting badly... is saying goodbye to the ball.
Impeccable driving range, you can practice from the grass, it has three short practice holes that are amazing for the short game.
It is a pleasure to walk around Is Arenas, and those who know about golf will immediately check it out.

Beautiful and perfectly maintained course in the pine forest adjacent to the beach.
At the end of May I played with the wonderful scents and colors of the Mediterranean maquis in spring.
The owner, Silvia, entered me in a competition with 3 really welcoming and nice members of the club.
Unforgettable day!!

Beautiful and "delicate" course, fantastic maintenance (congratulations to the greenkeeper!) and priceless to play as if we were the only players on the course: course all for us!
Foresteria degli Ulivi …a delightful return after a day of golf and the beach: few umbrellas, the beach practically all to ourselves, simply incredible lunch service
Remarkable cuisine thanks to chef Bruno, young but very very very good
Very kind, pleasant and very well trained staff
All taken care of in the smallest details
Merit of Silvia Pello, impeccable hostess who spoiled us beyond words and made us feel at home among friends
Can't wait to go back

Wonderful golf course
Reviewed June 10, 2023
This golf course is a must for every golfer. The fairways are very well maintained, peppered with many doglegs, waves in the terrain, water hazards and sand bunkers. The greens are in excellent condition, very fast but on track. The many trees and the Mediterranean maquis devour quite a few balls... If you are on holiday in Sardinia, you should definitely make a stop there. The two Foresterie are top equipped and the kitchen is excellent.

The ecstasy in the pine forest.
Reviewed June 8, 2023
A dream field, immersed in the silence and sounds of nature, cared for with love, permeated with a disarming beauty. Here the pleasure of the game is manifested in its purity. In a setting of tall pine trees, undulating, impeccable fairways, greens of such an intense green that they appear dazzling at times, I felt the thrill of playing out of time.

A piece of paradise on earth
Reviewed May 6, 2023
There were two of us and we had the 18 holes to ourselves. The greens are very well maintained. But the place is not very easy. Very long and narrow. The surrounding forest makes you feel like you're alone in the world. So we could enjoy nature in an incredible way.
It was particularly nice to play here.
I still took golf lessons from Pro Alessandro! I benefited a lot from it.
We also had our room in the resort. We felt very comfortable. The room is furnished in a very loving and tasteful way.
Access to the beach was particularly nice.
We were treated very hospitably. The green fees are included because we stayed here.
I can recommend this place to everyone.

Is Arenas Golf course on the west coast of a unique island. How unique are the sensations that this place manages to give me every time.
I need to breathe this enchantment at least once a year.
The scents, the colors, the atmosphere, the light, the sunsets, the immense pine forest.
One of Von Hagge's most inspired creations fits almost hidden into this dream. World-famous architect, who managed to place a work of art with an unapproachable charm on this part of the wild island.
The maintenance, the care, the perfection of the conditions of the surface combine to make this golf course a unique experience. Necessary.
And like every year, I leave Is Arenas regenerated in my soul. . .

Total disappointment!!
Reviewed August 12, 2022
Although the pitch is beautiful and well maintained (no complaints) our experience (4 players) was very bad. There is no organization, there is no staff, we had to receive sandwiches and water at 12.30 / 13, (ordered on their indication before departure) they were delivered at 14.30... But the worst thing is that for at least 1 hour no one has answered our continuous calls to the cell of the club house The green fee (140 € each) + 50 € of cart does not absolutely reflect what they offer you: the club house is that of a campsite, the changing rooms are prefabricated similar to those of construction sites, the showers worked very badly and to conclude it was not possible to have lunch.. I'm sorry but if you ask for certain figures I think it is right and correct to also give similar services. There is a big difference (for the same cost) in the welcome and assistance between Il Pevero and this golf course. I'm sorry but it's the truth!! And it is not enough to say "yes but the field is beautiful" !!

There is peace in the pine forest
Reviewed October 26, 2021
Have played two rounds in Sept 2021. The fairways lead through the pine forest, generally not very hilly, we played with an e-trolley on foot. In addition to the semi-rough, there is usually forest with dense undergrowth, so spending 10 euros in cash for wash balls in the secretariat is worthwhile. Apart from the sound of the sea, we only heard ourselves. We liked the place very much (Hcp 10 + 16), the secretariat has already been described, the price is high, but there is a sandwich delivered to the place and enough water. We will be back.

Unique and extraordinary place in the world!
Reviewed October 14, 2021
I have been playing golf for over 20 years, I have played in more than 50 courses in Italy, Europe and Africa, playing on the Is Arenas Private Golf course overlooks them all! The unique experience is to play on a private field that becomes your private field with a few selected players, the game is never disturbed by the following and preceding players and if you are a guest of the Foresterie it is not necessary to book the tee-time. , because guests have priority tee times. The maintenance of the field is extraordinary. The property invests in the absolute quality of the lawns and follows the highest standards of excellence in hospitality. The location, the setting of the field, the refined and refined hospitality of the guesthouses and the superb local cuisine offered by the Bistrot degli Ulivi have no equal, highly recommended!

Golfing challenge
Reviewed September 30, 2021
On September 17th, 2021 we (HCP 11 and 9) play this course with a lot of joy and maximum concentration. The DR has turfs of grass and the aim is to mark markings that are partly between trees. After 9 holes you are not at the clubhouse. Precision and a certain length are required, because tall trees and undulating fairways come into play again and again. Not to mention the doglegs and fast greens. In addition to water hazards, there are some waste areas. If you like challenges, this is the right place for you. The simply furnished clubhouse and other ancillary services are poor, but for us in this case unimportant. Here we play again.

A unique golf course in the world!
Reviewed September 23, 2021
Is Arenas, a unique experience in Italy.
Field immersed in an immense pine forest.
As a great lover of the courses designed by the architect Robert Von Hagge, the Is Arenas course is by far the most spectacular.
First field built in Italy in bermuda grass; even with high summer temperatures it guarantees an exceptional quality of turf.
For a high-level player, the greens are a constant challenge.
Impossible to let your guard down!
I spent an unforgettable week playing golf and taking advantage of the uniqueness of a beach of over 6 km practically deserted, easily reachable by golf cart, another peculiarity of the Resort that overlooks the sea.
Le Foresterie host golf players making them feel at home pampered by the thousands of attentions of the staff of unrivaled professionalism and kindness. There are no words to describe the delicacies of the kitchen of chef Monica who every evening offers dishes cooked with only locally sourced fish.
It is difficult to describe the intensity of the daylight and the beauty of the sunsets that on the golf course paint the barks of the trees and the foliage of the pines red in stark contrast to the intensity of the green of the perfect fairways.
A place that regenerates the soul.

Unsympathetic, arrogant, way too expensive
Reviewed July 16, 2021
On our Sardinia tour we wanted to play a round of 9 holes with our two children at 12.30. We were told that it was only possible to play 18 holes or that we could pay the price of 18 holes and then stop whenever we wanted. The place was empty and the gentleman in the "Camping Wood Shed" which serves as the reception was arrogant. The place is completely away from everything and is completely overpriced. Usury! Costs for a round of golf for 2 adults and 2 children with Bugy Euro 440.00!

Dear Mrs Cornelia,
We are really sorry you were unable to play 9 holes in the morning. You can easily find this information on the website of the golf-course, or we inform players of that when they contact us to book their tee-time. As the manager kindly explained to you to play 9 holes players start from hole n°1 and play 1,2,3 and then 13,14,15,16,17,18 to come back to the starter point, as in the morning there are many players on the golf course we can not manage the cut from hole 3 to 13, that's why 9 holes in summer time are allowed in the afternoon after 16:30.
Green-fee for children are for free until 10 years old and the half-price from 11 to 15 years old and -1/3 from 16 to 18 years old...
Our manager was very kind with you, he isn't arrogant at all, and he was proposing to you to play as an alternative on the executive course 3 holes par 3 as you were telling him that you didn't want to play in the afternoon because you had others plans. We are sorry for the "Camping Wood Shed" and for "the place away from everything" many players really appreciate the environment of the Robert Von Hagge 18 holes par 72 golf-course because is settled in a pine forest of 1.100 hectares SIC site of European Interest that's why of "the Camping Wood Shed" as secretary/starter point of hole n°1.

Pamper yourself in an earthly paradise
Reviewed October 7, 2019
The golf course winds through a lush pine forest with views of the hills and the sea.
It is not at all easy and it is a good challenge for the golfer.
Maintenance is remarkable: just think that in a sea of maritime pines I have not found needles on the fairway!
The accommodation is then of the highest level, from the guest rooms to the quality of the food.
The only flaw the lack of a level club house, we hope that permits will soon arrive to make it happen.
finally, compliments to the staff and architect Pellò for the passion and care they put into it

The facility is quite remote. Therefore, it is worthwhile to clarify beforehand where you would like to spend the night. The golf club includes various accommodations and also a catering option on great level.

Overpriced
Reviewed September 28, 2018
We played this place on September 28,2018.
The course itself is very attractive and has beautiful tracks for each HCP.
Unfortunately, the result was overshadowed by broken and unkempt greens.
The green fee of 85 € per person with car 45 € was in any way appropriate.
A demand in the administration showed no fruits, too bad, the place itself has more than 3 star berdient.

Neat golf course with little appealing drum around
Reviewed September 17, 2018
We played the course in mid-September by appointment. The place itself is more "In the Middle of Nowhere".
At the entrance to the entire campsite camping feeling comes on. It looks as if the plant has the best years behind it without investing. At the "golf reception" we drove by twice, because we could not believe that a wooden barracks with awning and plastic chairs can be the "clubhouse". However, you are not allowed to park your car directly there, but rather a long way away.
The rental clubs ordered were ordinary Callaway rackets.
There was very little going on in the field.
The course itself is a very well-designed golf course with beautiful tracks and attractive green complexes. A typical resort place, not too hard to play, which of course brings fun. The condition was medium: the greens not very fast, the fairway a bit too long. Left and right of the square is rather less on care worth.
T19 is a collection of plastic chairs with tent roof, coffee and cold drinks machine, which simply has nothing to do with golf course feeling.
The showers are in an extra barracks on the premises, not right next to the Golfrezeption, again similar campsite, bad smell, you would not stay there long.
For the course itself I would give 4 stars, because it was fun to play there, for the drum around no more than 1 star.

Beautiful place with spurtreuen greens
Reviewed September 10, 2018
We were there for two in the beginning of September 2018 on a Monday and were received and served very friendly. With Cart we paid 195, - Euro. Yes, that's a lot, but the place needs to be cared for in this barren area and is in very good condition. The greens are exceptionally good for the season and the place altogether very spacious, so that in the heat of the cart is always worthwhile. We were able to start without explicit tee time and had the place for ourselves all the time. We recommend the place without IF and BUT happy to continue. Ample parking in the shady pine forest for Womis. We could have even pre-ordered a meal for after the game... After the game, there were pleasant shower facilities, so for travelers a good opportunity to play golf and enjoy a refreshed onward journey. But you can also rent accommodation directly in the area.

Is Arenas
Reviewed August 7, 2018
We played a round in Is Arenas at the beginning of August. Very nice staff who speaks English very well. The place was despite massive drought in the whole of Europe in very good condition, due greens were even excellent, have kept very well and were faithful in putting. The course was all around amazingly green, dry spots on sand at the edges of the fairways are designated as waste areas. The green fee is relatively high (130 € with cart in August), but there are reductions for juniors. A cart (we never take !!!) is quite pleasant because of the heat and the sometimes quite long distances between the fairways. DaPersonal

In mid-September in glorious weather we played as guests of the golf hotel the place 3x. Was it because of the heat, at the height of the green fees or at the secluded west coast? Anyway, we had the place practically to ourselves. The friendly Hotelangestelltenund Caddie Master did the rest, it was pure pleasure.

We found - however, at the beginning of the season - a moderately well-kept place before, where we (restoration, etc.) had to forego other amenities anyway, just because the season had "actually" not yet started - apart estimate of the green fee. The bats were borrowed katastophral - and at a price where we got the best material in Pevero. However, there was also a plus: the scenic outstanding location.

Beautiful place
Reviewed April 29, 2014
The place is beautiful and we have played this 3 times during the week. The fairways were in quite good condition, the greens are quite hard and therefore fast. The green fee was for € 95 to have (April 14). Since the place was frequented at this season a little (Hotel still closed) was the round to be played completely relaxed. With 6 different tee options should be something for every skill level.
