The Ugolino Golf Club is located on the via Chiantigiana, between Bagno a Ripoli and Impruneta, and was founded in 1933 on the project by British architects Blandford and Gannon, who created a beautiful 18-hole course perfectly integrated with the surrounding rolling hills.
The Ugolino is an essential part of the history of Italian golf: countless competitions and many national championships have been held on its course, and there are many players of national and international stature who have competed there.
The course is not long, but very technical, and those who play on it quickly realize that the natural features of the place - the forest, the olive trees, the fruit trees and the sloping fairways - make it very pleasant but, at the same time, also challenging.
Playing at Ugolino is an unforgettable experience that immerses the player in a hilly landscape of rare sweetness, exciting and engaging.
The writer Chris Santella listed it in his book among the “Fifty places to play golf before you die”.
