The Versilia Golf Club, designed by John Harris with the help of Marco Croze, is a 72 par course. The course is suitable both for amateurs and professionals due to the placing of its tees.The 18 holes are developed on an area of about 53 hectares and unwind over 5,878 meters and leave available area for a covered driving range and putting greens. The characteristics of this golf course are not usually found in Italy. In fact, they are more common in the States, especially in the Southern states such as Florida. This is due to the abundant presence of water in this area. For this reason, many holes are concerned with water obstacles, and not just small ponds, but also vast surfaces which can remarkably affect the play. Due to a particular choice of trees and plants, the setting looks natural, not forced.
