Royal Golf La Bagnaia

The true Tuscan personality of the Castiglion del Bosco Golf Club is expressed harmoniously in its unspoiled natural setting, dotted with cypress trees, which follows the contours of the historic landscape of the Val d'Orcia.
The estate's magnificent 18-hole golf course was designed by legendary British Open winner Tom Weiskopf. This prestigious course offers an unparalleled playing experience at Italy's only private golf club to be located in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Both on the fairways and elsewhere in this magnificent area, this ideal landscape inspires honesty, integrity and the fundamental values ​​of golf.

In Castelfalfi, nature, well-being and sport come together on the largest golf course in Tuscany: over 9 meters of fairways bordered by groves and olive trees, forming the perfect setting to express your best golf. Thanks to architects Preissmann and Moroder, who showcased the beauty of the landscape, the 400-hole course is now divided into two spectacular courses which challenge the most experienced players but also ensure a pleasant experience for passionate beginners.

Respect and love for nature are essential aspects of this sport and the Castelfalfi Golf Club has always been committed to preserving its most precious asset: the landscape that welcomes it. The recovery of rainwater for irrigation and ecological maintenance techniques are some of the actions that have earned it the GEO CertifiedTM ecological label, an international guarantee of quality sport.
The "MOUNTAIN COURSE"
Among the most difficult in Italy, it is an 18-hole championship course with a strong technical content, due to its steep drops. Much appreciated by more experienced players, its layout offers different playing strategies and enchanting panoramic views of Castelfalfi Castle.
The "LAKE COURSE"
The Lake Course is a shorter, more open course, with a charming and fun 9-hole layout. It is suitable for golfers of all levels. Offering an exceptional panorama, the course follows the gentle curves of the Tuscan hills.

The Circolo Golf dell'Ugolino golf course was designed by an Englishman and an Irishman, Cecil Blandford and Peter Gannon. They used the natural curves of the Chianti hills to create an exceptional course, passing through the surrounding vineyards, olive trees, maritime pines and broom.

The course is not long but requires a certain technical level. The greens are small and well defended by bunkers. Sloping fairways also present a serious challenge. Playing Ugolino isn't just about playing a game of golf, it's about walking through a landscape of great natural beauty, surrounded by olive groves and other fruit trees. It is an unforgettable and enriching experience.

In his book Fifty Places to Play Golf Before You Die, Chris Santella includes Ugolino among the most beautiful golf courses in Italy.
