Our selected courses for golf holidays in Tuscany, Florence & Pisa

|
Ugolino
Architect: P. Mancinelli.
18 holes: 5,676m: par 72.
In the very heart of Chianti country, Ugolino
is the birthplace of Italian golf, occupying its current site since
1933. A club rich in tradition. The front 9 swoops through the hills
and shaping of shots will help. Back 9 is more level and offers
some scoring opportunities. |
| Le Pavoniere
Architect: A. Palmer.
18 holes: 6,137m: par 72.
This Arnold Palmer masterpiece sits, in fabulous
condition, on a plain surrounded by hills. The land has been given
some gentle relief but water and sand shape the majority of holes. |

Poggio dei Medici Architect: B. Dassú. 18 holes: 6,220m: par 72.
The purest of Tuscan settings for this great
test of golf. A modern design which utilises the contours of the
sweeping terrain. Scene of the Italian Ladies Open.
Montecatini Architect: M. Croze. 18
holes: 5,857m: par 72.
Possibly the quintessential Tuscan golf course. Set
amongst olive groves, mixed woodland and the ocassional specimen cypress. The gently rolling slopes of the Montecatini golf course provide classic Tuscan panoramas. The course is thoroughly enjoyable, with a few tricky corners here and there but generally not too tough, with holes running generally through the valleys and along the ridge tops.
Lovely stone clubhouse
(with half-a-dozen bedrooms if you would like to stay on-site) where a warm welcome awaits.

Versilia
Architect: J.M. Olazabal (1990).
18 holes: 5,873m: par 71.
A pretty course, almost a botanical garden in
some areas, where most holes should be reachable in regulation (in
fact they only have Yellow and Red Tees). The holes are quite tightly
knit around the numerous lakes and streams that criss-cross the
course.
Level terrain makes for easy walking so 36 here is very achievable,
as long as you are not waylaid by the glittering Clubhouse's Michelin
starred restaurant! |
Cosmopolitan
Architect: D. Mezzacane.
18 holes: 5,830m: par 72.
Close to the sea just south of Pisa the Cosmopolitan
is a level course on reasonably open land that starts fairly easily
and then toughens up as more and more water comes into play on the
back nine. Modern clubhouse with enormous pool and accommodation. |

Castelfalfi
Architect: P. Mancinelli.
18 holes: 5,869m: par 73.
Away to the south of Florence, practically lost
amongst the hills, Castelfalfi has some spectacular holes and could
easily be combined with a visit to San Gimignano. No real Clubhouse
as yet. |
