Description

• If you look at the scorecard you might think at first that this is an easy course because its length is “only” 5,741 meters. But watch out! Difficulties on golf courses are not just meters. Ugolino is a natural course designed and built in 1934 in the Chianti hills and it exploits at best the natural characteristics of the Tuscan landscape: the cypress trees and olive trees, the slopes that curve and follow the magnificent scenery, the small greens which are often very well-defended. These are the obstacles that the golfer comes up against on a course which is part and parcel of Italian golfing history and severely tests players of all sorts. It is not by chance that Ugolino has formed many excellent golfers. The course is an amusing but most challenging test for players who have to devote their skills to playing accurately rather than powerfully. The first three holes are all par 4 with a delicate shot to the green, which can allow for a couple of birdies in spite of hidden dangers which require accuracy.
  The sixth hole is the first par 5, it requires both length and accuracy to avoid trouble with the many trees along the fairway. On the ninth hole, another par 5, danger lies on both sides of the fairway and the green is raised and quite small.
  The second nine begins with a spectacular par 3 which opens on to a wonderful view. Holes number 11 and 12 are fairly long with difficult shots to the green and many out of bounds. Number 15 is one of the trickiest holes of the course due to the difficulty in choosing the type of shot to play. The well defended green slopes severely to the right.
  A delicate course which has to be faced, shot by shot, with great attention and, above all, great caution.
