Le Pavoniere Golf & Country Club offer a golf course which flanks an ancient park, where the fairway is undulated and the sand of the finest. A eighteen holes green of 6464 meters designed by a famous player, Arnold Palmer: perfect lines of play, greens protected by insidious bunkers and strategic water hazards. A nineteenth century villa in one of Leopoldo dei Medici’s estates, carefully restored and with services added and the passion of a number of players wishing to create their own course: that’s how Le Pavoniere was born twenty years ago. Today, to enrich and beautify the surroundings 1800 new trees of native species has been planted and banks of flowers created around the water mirrors, greens and tees. In that way when you play you’ll really feel you’re in a natural paradise, in the heart of one of the most beautiful region in Italy.

Tenuta di Artimino is a wonderful property surrounded by green hills, few miles away from Florence. It’s a perfect place for a relaxing holiday or a unique venue for special events. The property is well-known for the Medici Villa “La Ferdinanda”, a suggestive location part of Unesco Heritage where it’s possible to organize meetings, weddings and convention. The history of Medici Villa “La Ferdinanda” began in 1596 when the famous architect Bernardo Buontalenti received the commission to build it by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinando I de’ Medici. Instead, the hamlet of Artimino was built in the ancient Etruscan era. Nowadays its medieval layout is still almost fully intact and it’s formed by an outer wall and the ancient village clock tower. Tenuta di Artimino is also famous for wine and olive oil production: 80 hectares planted with local grapes varieties (especially the famous Sangiovese grape) and the Doc Carmignano wine and Chianti red wine.

The British community in Florence brought golf to Italy in 1889 when they built an 18 hole course on land belonging to the princes Demidoff, just north of the city. In 1934 a new course was created at the edge of the beautiful Chianti country and the Ugolino golf club came into existence, taking over the mantle of the Florence golf club.Besides numbering many Champions among its Member, both amateur and professional, Ugolino has hosted numerous international competition. Outstanding among these was the 40th Italian Open in 1983. This Remains probably, the most enthralling tournament ever played in Italy. It was won, in the end, by Bernard Langer following a thrilling play-off with Severiano Ballesteros and Sandy Lyle. In addition to them, the field boasted such giants of the game as Greg Norman, Sam Torrance, Pinero, Canizares and Brown, not to mention the leading italians of the time, Costantino Rocca and Baldovino Dassù. The Event is still vivid in the memory of the older Members. In 2009, in recognition of its long service

to golf, the Italian Olimpic Commitee awarded Ugolino the Gold Medal for sporting achievement. As a further honour, Ugolino can claim no fewer than three out of the eleven members of the Hall of Fame of Italian golf, nominated by the Italian PGA. These are Baldovino Dassù, Federica Dassù and Franco Rosi, recognised for their contribution to the development of golf in Italy.
The new course was designed by an englishman and an irishman, Cecil Blandford and Peter Gannon. They used the natural contours of the Chianti slopes to produce an outstanding course, threaded through the indigenous vines, olive trees, maritime pines and broom. The course is not long, but demands a high degree of skill. The greens are small and well defended by bunkers. The sloping fairways also present a great challenge. To play Ugolino is not just to indulge in a game of golf, it is to wander through a landscape of great natural beauty, surrounded by olive and other fruit trees. It is an unforgettable and uplifting experience. In his book “fifty places to play golf before you die”, the writer Chris Santella includes Ugolino as one of the fifty.
The clubhouse of Ugolino is an example of the futuristic or art deco school of architecture. Prevalent in the 1930s. the architect was Ghirardo Bosio, a noted city planner of the fascist period. It is a listed building, protected by the Florentine institute responsible for cultural heritage. The building sits strategically on top of a hillock surrounded by meadowland, studded with cypresses and pines. All 18 holes are laid out in a circle around the clubhouse. The building itself is a three-storey construction. The ground floor, classically, has the secretarial offices, locker rooms and pro-shop. The first floor is dedicated to a spacious bar, a restaurant and lounge. All round this floor is a huge terrace giving marvellous panoramic views of the hilly countryside. The second floor has a card room, a billiard room and a terrace which overlooks the eighteenth green.The swimming pool is also an example of the futurist style and it too, falls under the supervision of the cultural heritage authorities. It is situated in a lovely wooded spot, not far from the clubhouse. The ceramic lining of the pool is done in a delightfully subtle variety of dark and light blue shades and stands out like a jewel against the background greenery. The pool has a trampoline and diving platform which are of a bold design bearing the signature of the great engineer Pierluigi Nervi. Its dimensions are 25 m x 12.5 m
