The Argentario Golf Resort, which hosts some of the most important golf tournaments in Tuscany and Italy, features 18 panoramic holes for a total of 6,218 metres and par 71. The course has been awarded the “Agri Cert” certification for its bio eco-compatibility, and all products used for its maintenance are completely natural.

The golf course is located in a protected natural area, only 5 minutes from the Duna Feniglia Nature Reserve and 25 km from the Parco dell’Uccellina Reserve. The Orbetello Lagoon, the sea and the hillside offer a beautiful panorama and create a microclimate that allows golf to be played at any time of the year.

The 18-hole golf course and the driving range, which were inaugurated in 2006, have been designed by the architect David Mezzacane and the professional golfer Baldovino Dassù. The holes were subsequently shaped by Brian Jorgensen: the result is a varied, spectacular and technically challenging course.

Among the 18 panoramic holes with mostly small greens, two dominate the sea and the lagoon, one is immersed in the Mediterranean vegetation, and another features water hazard running along one side of the green. A refreshing breeze mitigates the temperature and adds an extra challenge to the game which, on this course, requires a combination of accuracy and power.

PGA National Italy:

Testament to the quality of the course and its facilities, Argentario joined The PGA’s growing list of exceptional branded resorts as the ‘PGA National Italy’ in 2019. In doing so, the Resort lines up alongside an illustrious group of other PGA Nationals which includes Ryder Cup venues The Belfry and Gleneagles, as well as PGA National Cyprus at Aphrodite Hills, PGA National Turkey at Antalya Golf Resort and Slieve Russell, PGA National Ireland.

Club House:

In time for the 2019 season, Argentario opened up a stylish new clubhouse which is home to the Pro Shop, Golf Secretary’s office and the Club House Restaurant & Bar, which boasts an extensive wooden terrace offering stunning views over the golf course and surrounding hills.

The cutting-edge design of the Club House reflects the dramatic architecture of the nearby resort hotel; the impressive entrance to the Club House, for example, has been created by the installation of a striking decked walkway and gazebo created using natural materials.
 
Inside the Club House furnishings chosen by Milan-based interior designer, Andrea Fogli, have produced a stylish, yet cosy interior. The traditional decor of historic Anglo-Saxon golf clubs – such as the soft leather chairs and deer antler candelabra – combine with modern, contemporary features that make for a comfortable and practical environment in which to relax.

Argentario Golf Villas:

Argentario also launched a collection of luxury villas last year, known as the Argentario Golf Villas, that are available to rent or buy for an indulgent holiday in this unspoiled region of the Maremma. Whilst the new properties offer guests privacy and independence, all villa guests have open access to the nearby design hotel, a majestic giant dragonfly-shaped property just 200 metres away, and all of its state-of-the-art facilities as well as all the activities on offer at the Resort for the entire length of their stay.

The spacious open-plan villas feature achingly-stylish surroundings thanks to elegant furnishings and unique design items curated again by
Andrea Fogli whilst expansive private decked terraces, perfect for sundowners and al fresco dining, boast sweeping views over the Resort’s picturesque natural surroundings.
