What makes Varvarusa Golf Club unique, and is it suitable for all skill levels?
Varvarusa truly stands out with its dramatic elevation changes and the strategic use of ancient olive groves that frame many fairways. While it offers a fair challenge, especially on holes like the par-3 7th with its tricky downhill approach, multiple tee boxes ensure golfers of all handicaps can enjoy a rewarding round.

Green fees at Varvarusa typically range from €80-€120, depending on the season and day of the week. We think it's excellent value; you're not just paying for 18 holes, but for a meticulously maintained course with breathtaking views and a truly authentic Italian golf experience.
What's the atmosphere like at Varvarusa's clubhouse, and what local specialties should I try?
The clubhouse at Varvarusa is wonderfully unpretentious, feeling more like a welcoming Italian home than a stuffy golf club. After your round, definitely settle in for a glass of local wine and try their homemade pasta - the cacio e pepe is a revelation and perfectly caps off a day on the links.
How accessible is Varvarusa Golf Club, and do you recommend staying nearby?
Varvarusa is conveniently located about an hour's drive from Florence, making it an easy day trip if you're based there. However, we highly recommend staying in one of the charming local agriturismos nearby; it truly enhances the immersive Italian experience and allows for a more relaxed pace.
