The Most Ridiculous Golf Trip in the World? Try Italy by Train.

Michelin-star dinners, Ryder Cup courses, and vintage train cars—this golf trip across Italy is next-level.

Want a free sleeve of golf balls? Make sure you read to the bottom – it’s easy (could take you less than 3 minutes – No catch).

We’ve written about budget golf trips, hidden gems, and national park pairings—but now we’re flipping the script. This might be the most over-the-top golf trip we’ve ever seen: a luxury train ride across Italy, where you play world-class golf, eat food by actual Michelin chefs, and sleep in a vintage 1960s-style cabin while Tuscany rolls past your window.

It’s called the La Dolce Vita Orient Express Golf Experience, and it’s happening in October and November 2025.
