Ugolino Golf Club

My dad and I took a taxi about 30 minutes outside of Florence to Ugolino and found a short, challenging course with tiny greens and spectacular views of the Tuscan country side. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating (even arranged us a taxi back to Florence) - between 2 rounds of golf, 2 club rentals, and a cart rental we spent approximately 300 euro. Not only does Ugolino boast some of the smoothest greens we've ever putted on, but also a rich golfing tradition. Be sure to stop by the plaque commemorating Seve Ballesteros' chip in eagle at the 1983 Italian open behind the 9th green!

What am amazing golf course located just outside of Florence. WHen planning out my vacation in Florence and Chianti, I did not expect to get a round of golf in, but im so glad I did. The layout was gorgeous. You can not beat the views of grape and olive trees in the wine country, and the hills and Cypress trees are simply breathtaking. Although a short course, the sloped fairways and tight greens require the golfer to have careful shot selection. If you are in Tuscany as a golfer, Golf Ugolino is a must play. The people were so friendly here, and the food was to die for. You cant go wrong with good golf and good food, making Ugolino a must!!
