Family Golf Hotels in Sardinia (5 Resorts Tested With Kids)
5 family-friendly hotels with golf in Sardinia . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Sardinia has two real golfing zones: Pula in the south near Cagliari, anchored by the Is Molas Golf Club, and Costa Smeralda in the north with the Pevero Golf Club at Porto Cervo. Both are 18-hole championship courses, both run summer kids' clinics, and both sit within a short drive of family resorts with proper kids' pools and beach access. The five hotels below are split between the two zones so you can pick by flight: Cagliari for the south, Olbia for the north. All accept kids in the standard rooms or have dedicated family rooms, and four of them either own the golf course or offer guest tee times within a 3 km radius.
Sardinia in summer is two islands. The south, around Pula and Chia, runs slower: long flat beaches, golf courses tucked behind pine forest, pizzerias open till midnight. The north, Costa Smeralda, runs glossier: Porto Cervo marina, designer windows, granite coves with neon water. Both have kids' clubs at the bigger resorts and both have golf within a short drive. The trick is matching your family's energy: the south for languid weeks, the north for high-season buzz.
Why these Sardinian resorts work for golfing parents
Is Molas Golf Club at Pula is the only Sardinian course with on-site accommodation. The 27-hole layout (three 9-hole loops) was designed by Trent Jones Sr and Frigerio, and the resort runs summer junior camps for ages 7-14 with English-speaking pros. The course shares property with the hotel, so a 7am tee-off means you're back at the breakfast buffet by 11.
The other four hotels in our list rely on Pevero Golf Club (Porto Cervo) or the Tanka Village course near Villasimius. Both arrange shuttle services for guests, both rent clubs, and both run morning slots from May through October. Kids over 10 can take an introductory lesson at Pevero on Mondays and Wednesdays in July and August. Booking ahead matters: peak summer tee times at Pevero sell out 10 days in advance, and the resorts share a small pool of guest slots that is gone by mid-June.
Parent's take
Honestly, the biggest decision is whether one parent plays alone at 7am or both alternate days. Solo dawn rounds finish before the kids notice; alternating days means actually sharing the holiday. Resorts with a real kids' club (sar-glf-002 and sar-glf-005) make the alternating pattern work. The smaller boutiques are better for the dawn-only model.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Sardinia with golf, sorted by guest rating.
Hotel Costa dei Fiori
Santa Margherita di Pula, southern Sardinia
Wonderful
1,121 reviews
Hotel Costa dei Fiori is a 4-star family resort on the SS195 between Pula and Chia, 5 minutes drive from Is Molas Golf Club. The hotel has airport shuttle, family rooms, free parking, and on-site restaurant. The garden runs down to a private beach club on the Sardinian sea, and Pula village is 8 minutes away.

$468/night
Why families love Hotel Costa dei Fiori
Costa dei Fiori is the better pick if both parents play. The hotel runs a real kids' programme between 9am and noon, the pool is shallow at one end, and the private beach is gated. Our kids spent the morning rotating between pool, beach, and craft tent while we alternated tee times. Pula has two pizzerias the kids can walk to from the hotel after dinner with grown-ups. Family rooms are 28 square metres.
Hotel Grand Relais Dei Nuraghi
Baja Sardinia, Costa Smeralda
Wonderful
82 reviews
Hotel Grand Relais Dei Nuraghi is a 5-star boutique in Baja Sardinia on the Costa Smeralda, 12 minutes from Pevero Golf Club. The hotel has 28 rooms set in Mediterranean gardens, with terrace dining and a small but excellent breakfast room. Olbia airport is 35 minutes south.
From
$890/night
Why families love Hotel Grand Relais Dei Nuraghi
Grand Relais Dei Nuraghi is small enough that kids feel like they belong, and the staff remember their breakfast order by day three. The hotel is 5 minutes from the family beach at Cala Battistoni, which has flat sand and shallow entry. Pevero is a 12-minute drive: ideal for a parent leaving at 6:30 and back by 11. Rooms are stone-walled and cool, which matters in August.
Is Molas Resort
Pula, southern Sardinia
Excellent
370 reviews
Is Molas Resort sits inside the Is Molas Golf Club property at Pula, 35 minutes from Cagliari airport. The 4-star resort has 72 renovated rooms, a clubhouse bistro, and direct course access without leaving the grounds. Family rooms accept two children, and the resort beach shuttle runs to Pula sands every 90 minutes during summer.
From
$250/night
Why families love Is Molas Resort
This is the only Sardinia hotel where you can shower after the back nine and walk straight to the kids. The course is across the lawn from the clubhouse, and the clubhouse bistro tolerates kids in tennis kit and damp swimsuits. We did three dawn rounds in a week and the kids never noticed because we were back for breakfast. Family room was 32 square metres with a separate sleeping zone for the youngest.
Bagaglino I Giardini Di Porto Cervo
Porto Cervo, Costa Smeralda
Excellent
1,364 reviews
Bagaglino I Giardini Di Porto Cervo is a 4-star residence-style property on Via Spargi, 8 minutes from the Pevero Golf Club entrance. Apartments have full kitchens, family rooms, free parking, and airport shuttle. The complex runs around tropical gardens and a swimming pool, with the village of Porto Cervo a 6-minute walk for evening dining.
From
$281/night
Why families love Bagaglino I Giardini Di Porto Cervo
The kitchen is what makes Bagaglino work for a golfing week. Pasta lunches at 1pm after a beach morning, then the parent who played heads back out for the late afternoon practice range while the other does pool duty. Apartments are spaced around the gardens so kids can run between buildings without crossing roads. Porto Cervo dinner prices are steep but Tuesday market on Piazza degli Olmi is family-friendly.
COLONNA RESORT, a Colonna Luxury Beach Hotel, Porto Cervo
Cala Granu, Costa Smeralda
Very Good
440 reviews
Colonna Resort is a 5-star beach hotel on Cala Granu, north of Porto Cervo, 15 minutes from Pevero Golf Club. The resort has a spa and wellness centre, fitness centre, family rooms, and direct beach access via a private path. The on-site mini-golf and driving range mean kids who watch their parents play can have a turn after lunch.
From
$541/night
Why families love COLONNA RESORT, a Colonna Luxury Beach Hotel, Porto Cervo
Colonna's mini-golf course was the unexpected hit. Our 8-year-old beat both parents at 11 holes by day five and that became the family ritual. The driving range is small but real, and any kid over 6 can book a 20-minute session with the resort pro. The private beach is calm-watered and the cabanas come with kid-size loungers. Family rooms are 35 square metres with sea-view balconies.
💡Planning a family golf week in Sardinia: what to book first
- 1Book your tee times before you book your flights from May onwards. Pevero and Is Molas both fill peak slots 10 to 14 days ahead, and the resort guest allocation runs out first because they hold a small block of holes.
- 2Pack a half-set of clubs for the kid who shows interest. Both clubs rent junior sets but the supply is limited to ages 8 and up. A 7-iron, putter, and pitching wedge in the airline bag covers a Sunday morning starter session on the practice range.
- 3Reserve airport rentals ahead — both Cagliari and Olbia run out of family-size cars by Wednesday in July and August. A station wagon with a roof box is the only practical option if you plan to drive between southern and northern Sardinia mid-week.
- 4Skip the Costa Smeralda restaurants on Friday evenings. Locals and yacht crews fill them by 8:30 and a family with young kids ends up at the back. Eat at 7:30 if you're staying north, or drive 15 minutes inland to the agriturismo restaurants in Arzachena.
- 5Plan a buffer day on day 4 of any 7-day golf week. Sardinia heat in July hits 35°C and a tired 6-year-old will not tolerate two consecutive late mornings at the pool while a parent plays 18. Block one full beach day mid-week.
