About Ugolino Golf Club
Ugolino Golf Club is the oldest club in Italy at more than 130 years old. Set up by British golfers in 1889 Ugolino moved to its current location in 1934. It's a beautiful, stylish venue as you would expect.
Designed by Cecil Blandford and Peter Gannon, Ugolino uses the natural contours of the Chianti slopes as it threads through vines, olive trees, pines and broom. The greens are small are well defended by bunkers. Although fairly short by modern standards the golf course requires skilful play.
In 2009 Ugolino was awarded the Gold Medal for sporting achievement in recognition of its impressive history. It has hosted numerous international competitions and members over the years have included three members of the Hall of Fame of Italian Golf, Baldovino Dassu, Federica Dassu and Franco Rosi.
Enjoy a glass of Chianti in the clubhouse afterwards while you absorb the amazing atmosphere. Ten miles south of Florence.

Our take
Italy's oldest club plays just as 130 years of history suggests, short by modern standards, threaded through Chianti vines and olive trees, with small greens that give nothing away.
- Serious golfersLength will not save you here. The small greens are well defended by bunkers and the course follows the natural slopes of Chianti, so approach play and judgement matter far more than carry.
- Higher handicapsThe modest length keeps it within reach off the tee, but expect to leak shots around those guarded greens. Wind is rarely a factor this far inland, which is one mercy.
- CouplesFounded by British golfers in 1889 and every bit as stylish as its age implies, it pairs an easy paced round with vines, olive groves and pines, a course to stroll as much as play.
