Golf CoursesCourses on site: Poggio Dei Medici Golf Club
Set amongst the splendid hills of Mugello, the course was designed by Baldovino Dassù and Alvise Rossi Fioravanti and built to USGA standards. Opened for play in 1995, it was immediately recognized by the popular Italian magazine "Il Mondo del Golf" as the best new golf course in Italy, and it has been building an international reputation as one of the finest in Italy and was home to the Ladies Italian Open from 1999 to 2003.
The course is fairly open with rolling hills and large guarded greens, a fair course that can be enjoyed by all standards of golfers. There are extensive practice facilities, with a Driving Range complete with shaded driving bays and separate Putting and Pitching Greens.
