UGOLINO CIRCOLO GOLF

Golf Club Ugolino is one of Italy’s most historic and scenic golf courses, located just south of Florence in the heart of the Chianti region. This prestigious 18-hole, par 72 course stretches across the rolling Tuscan hills, offering panoramic views of vineyards, olive groves, and ancient farmhouses. Designed to blend with the natural landscape, the front nine features undulating terrain, while the back nine is flatter yet equally challenging—perfect for golfers seeking both beauty and technical play.

Surrounded by one of the world’s most famous wine regions, playing at Ugolino means immersing yourself in the essence of Tuscany—where golf, nature, and culture meet in perfect harmony. It's a must-play for golfers visiting Florence and looking to combine world-class golf with timeless Italian charm.

Comment read on the Peugeot Golf Guide
The Circolo Golf Firenze (Florence Golf Club) is the oldest in Italy but opened here only in 1933. Designed by Blandford & Gannon, it was subsequently altered by Piero Mancinelli. This is a very pleasant site with a great day's golfing assured. We would simply advise a buggy for players whose physical condition is not what it was, as the course is rather hilly. For today's professionals, Ugolino is doubtless a little short, but this is and excellent course for amateur tournaments, where accuracy counts for much more than brute strength. The par 3s are rather long, but there is also an impressive group of short par 4s, where you might be tempted to think about birdies. Whether or not you make them remains in some doubt, as the greens are generally small, well contoured and well protected. Ugolino is by no means an example of modernity but it certainly deserves a visit, even if a trip to Florence, one of the world's finest cities, leaves little time for sport. Certainly worth a try... together, of course, with a glass of local Chianti wine.
