Thanks to Simon for arranging our recent golf holiday to Italy. He was extremely knowledgable and efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use this company again.

Our take

Ten water hazards and an Italian Open pedigree tell you most of what you need to know about Modena, though with barely 30 metres of climb all round it is at least an easy walk.

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

The walk. Flat, and an easy walk — 33 metres of climb over the round.

The wind. The wind is usually north-easterly, averaging 6 km/h. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 10 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. Bernhard Langer.

The holes that will cost you. The 13th, the 10th and the 18th. The 13th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
