Golf dell'Ugolino

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Golf dell'Ugolino for ideal conditions?

We find late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) offers the perfect balance at Ugolino. The weather is comfortably warm for walking the hilly fairways, and the course is typically in fantastic shape without the intense summer heat or peak tourist crowds.

What kind of challenge can I expect from Ugolino's layout? Is it a tough walk?

Ugolino is a classic, tree-lined parkland course that demands precision, not just power. You'll encounter some significant elevation changes and tight doglegs, so we definitely recommend a buggy if you're not up for a serious workout-it's a proper walk, but the views are worth it.

Are there any signature holes or unique features at Ugolino that I should look out for?

Absolutely, the course has a wonderful old-world charm. Keep an eye out for the par-3 10th, which plays downhill to a tricky green, and the challenging par-4 18th, where a good finish requires navigating a tight approach to a well-guarded green right in front of the historic clubhouse.

How easy is it to combine a round at Ugolino with sightseeing in Florence?

It's incredibly easy, which is a huge plus. Ugolino is just a short drive-about 20 minutes-from central Florence, making it ideal for a morning round before exploring the city's art and architecture in the afternoon. We often recommend staying in Florence and simply driving out for your tee time.

What should I know about booking a tee time and typical green fees at Golf dell'Ugolino?

As a historic and popular club, we advise booking your tee time well in advance, especially during peak seasons. Green fees are on par with other top Italian courses, typically ranging from €80-€120, but always check their official website for the most current rates and any package deals.
