Montecatini

This is one of our favourites, not because of the excellent course but the overall package available. Originally an olive grove estate belonging to an old Tuscan family, the course although not particularly long is an excellent example of Italian golf. From the cosy spike bar to the friendly and vociferous membership, one feels right under the skin of the Tuscan character. The clubhouse has a fitness centre, swimming pool and nine guest rooms which are comfortable furnished in the local style.
