Golf courses in Tuscany

Tuscany plays golf the way it does everything else: with style and a deep sense of place. Across some 26 courses, the region sets its fairways among the cypress-lined hills, vineyards and olive groves that have made it one of the most photographed landscapes in Italy, from the rolling Chianti country south of Florence to the pine-fringed Maremma coast. This is golf as part of a wider Tuscan day, where a round sits comfortably alongside wine, art and long lunches. The variety is genuine. Golf dell'Ugolino, set in the hills near Florence, is one of the oldest and most characterful courses in Italy, a classic among the vines, while Royal Golf La Bagnaia offers a more modern resort experience near Siena. Down on the coast, Punta Ala GC threads through Mediterranean pines with the Tyrrhenian Sea close at hand, and inland clubs such as Golf Club Le Miniere and Golf L'Abbadia add their own rural charm. For the travelling golfer, Tuscany rewards those who pair the game with the region: spring and autumn bring soft light and comfortable temperatures, ideal for combining golf with the cellars, hilltop towns and cuisine that define this corner of Italy.
