Argentario Golf Resort & Spa – A Luxurious Tuscany Retreat

---

When playing golf at the Argentario Golf Club, don’t be hard on yourself if you are distracted by the panoramic views of the Tuscany hillside and the sea views. The 18-hole par 71 6,218 metres layout offer views of the Orbetello Lagoon, the sea and the hillside creating a microclimate that allows golf to be played all year round.

Located in the protected natural area, the golf course is only five minutes from the Duna Feniglia Nature Reserve and 25km from the Parco dell’Uccellina Reserve. The course was also awarded the “Agri Cert” certification for its bio eco-compatibility, as all the products that are used for its maintenance are completely natural.

Inaugurated in 2006, the 18-hole layout and driving range was designed by architect David Mezzacane and professional golfer Baldovino Dassù. Brian Jorgensen shaped the holes thus the result is a varied, spectacular and technically challenging course.

Among the 18 panoramic holes with mostly small greens, two dominate the sea and the lagoon, one is immersed in the Mediterranean vegetation, and another features water hazard running along one side of the green. A refreshing breeze mitigates the temperature and adds an extra challenge to the game, which, on this course, requires a combination of accuracy and power.

The Argentario Golf Academy is run by one an experienced golf professional, Emanuele Canonica, winner of the 2005 Johnnie Walker Championships at Gleneagles and Paolo de Salvatore. Avid golfers looking to improve their game can take advantage of Canonica’s tour experience in the USA, Europe and Asia.

The Academy comes equipped with all the latest teaching technologies including audio-visual equipment to analyse movements, specific machines for improving the swing quickly, plus all training sessions will be recorded and monitored to evaluate the evolution of your game. The academy is also equipped with the latest generation of TrackMan IIIe simulator to help golfers get the best out of their clubs.

Golfers at the academy will also be able to test the latest of the best golf equipment and to customize their clubs through specialized fitting procedures and tools, to obtain the ideal golf set.

The Club House is located in the main building of the resort and includes the Club Room, the locker rooms and the pro shop.
