Travelling through Maremma means having a new idea of travelling, discovering a new idea of nature, of art, colours, flavours. Travelling through Maremma means having a new idea of travelling, it means discovering a new idea of nature, of art, colours, flavours. What amazes you is the variety of the landscape, which is never the same in its stretching out, and ripe with myriad facets. Maremma is a fresco of sights, mild hills, fields livened up by man’s work, villages and hamlets, an alternation of sea and beaches that turn this land into a brimming mosaic of timeless architectures.
INTRODUCTION
Maremma is one of most beautiful and magical faces of Tuscany. Its inland preserves features that have gone lost everywhere else: it is thriving and full of naturally-fertile fields that give authentic products which an old cooking tradition skilfully matches with the Mediterranean flavours of oil and famous wines. The flatland is full of charming humid areas, the kingdom of rare wildlife and uncontaminated species. The open sea gently laps at the coast, where blooming beaches, sandy dunes, small bays follow each other and break up into coves that host marinas and modern equipped beaches. Whilst travelling, guests can learn more about the nature, creativity, civilisation of this way of being and living in Maremma. A land that, like few others, preserves signs of the Etruscan civilisation and villages and hamlets where the flavour of mediaeval art is still strong. Maremma also means meeting people who have always welcomed and greeted people with such a willingness to be together, and for travellers it is like finding unique atmospheres and a charm that never fails to amaze, all through the year. It is in this area, with its unique charms, that rises one of the best golf heavens in Tuscany, with four 18-hole courses and one 9-hole course set in different but still fascinating places. Courses where one can put one’s skills to the test and be strong enough as not to be distracted by the wonders that surround the fairways. To find out how good, in golf as well, the Maremma can be for you.

ARGENTARIO GOLF CLUB
ARGENTARIO GOLF CLUB Argentario Golf Club is located between Grosseto and Capalbio - straight into the heart of Maremma-in a protected oasis of Mediterranean bush always offering glimpses of unique and extraordinary beauty. Among woods of cork-trees and centennial olives-dwelling of hares, squirrels and followdeers you will be captured by incontaminated views while inebriated by the scent of the arbustus-trees. Gentle slopes, the sea and the lagoon are, among others, basic ingredients of this microclimate which allows to play golf in every season of the year. The eighteen holes’ design is due to David Mazzacane and Baldovino Dassù, with the contribution of the American Brian Jorgensen. The course is surprisingly varied, very demanding from a technical point of view and undoubtly spectacular. The greens are beautiful, a gentle breeze always blows to mitigate the heat and to add another variant to the game, requiring at the same time accuracy and power. All par-three holes are marvellous: two of them overlook the sea and the lagoon, one is plunged in the bush, one depends on wind direction, and the last is the most delicate hole of the course because of the water hazard entering the green. The grass cloaks are certified eco-bio-compatible. The Club House is both elegant and functional, providing all services plus a wonderful terrace facing the course as well as the beaches of Talamone’Bay and the Park of Uccellina.

TERME DI SATURNIA GOLF CLUB
TERME DI SATURNIA GOLF CLUB The location of this area, few kilometres from the Tyrrhenian sea, will allow a 365 days/year game, with the seasons giving to the course always a different image. Terme di Saturnia golf course is a a resort course, placed in a quiet and mainly flat area, in the middle of a valley surrounded by smooth olive and wild hills with the constant view on Saturnia’s ancient village. The main aims of the project will be: ecological course and saving water. Both goals represent the more modern way to make the course joining the landscape (without giving an artificial look) and to join the strong social demands concerning the use of water. An ecological and very well designed carpath all along the 18 holes will allow the use of golf-carts in any kind of weather condition. The respect of the existing streams which are crossing the valley and the natural beauty of the trees and shrubs that take advantage from those, will make contrast with the “Scottish” look of the course where each hole is separated from the others, due to the big extension of the site, with large natural out-roughs always respectful of the trajectories of the most common wrong shots. Four tees, very well separated, and wide greens surfaces plenty of pin positions, will allow each player to choose between an Etruscan relaxing walk or a Gladiator fight along the 18 holes. The perfect location, at 2 minutes walking distance from the Hotel, which dominates the finishing holes, will offer a perfect romantic atmosphere when, during the last minutes of the sunset, the shadow of the hills are slowly covering the whole course at his feet.

MAREMMELLO GOLF CLUB The golf course: located in the heart of the Maremma, on the hills overlooking the stretch of sea linking Porto Santo S te fa n o to Ta l a m o n e , the course of Maremmello is a pleasant though at times exacting one. It is one of the most beautiful area in Tuscany and the mild winter climate of the place allows it to remain open the whole year through. The club has made a few changes in the course and one can play from different tees. Moreover, holes 4 and 5 have been modified and placed further away. And to conclude, in front of the green of hole 4 a new lake has been created next to the one already existent.
