Our take

You come to La Rocca for the quiet and stay for the golf, a technical Marco Croze layout in the oak and acacia woods on the hills above Parma.

• Serious golfersTechnical is the right word, position golf through wooded corridors with small lakes waiting four times on the card. Barely a breath of wind up here, so the course itself is the whole examination.
• CouplesA very quiet corner of Emilia Romagna, flat and easy underfoot, with Parma ham country all around and local delicacies in the clubhouse at lunch.
• Solo golfersModerately difficult without being punishing, and the sort of peaceful spot where a single golfer can get round at their own pace and eat well afterwards.

Tell us who’s coming and how you like to play, and we’ll shape the right trip around you.
