A tour through the Mediterranean with golf courses that all reward tactical players.
Sun 14.08 Valencia – Campo de Golf El Saler
Playing the ball straight ahead is almost always the right approach on these 18 spacious fairways situated between Albufera and the Mediterranean. In accordance with its location, the course is a blend of Scottish links course and Mediterranean parkland course.
Tue 16.08 Cannes – Golf Club Opio Valbonne
This parkland course is located in the highlands of Cannes. An old manor house serves as clubhouse and hotel. The wonderfully mature fairways are not always easy to play – the natural conditions of the terrain make their presence felt throughout the course. There’s no room here to be afraid of slopes.
Fri 19.08 Livorno (Florence) – Castelfalfi Golf Club
This jewel of a golf course is located in the highlands of Tuscany. The 18-hole championship chip course welcomes its guests with partly very long, narrow fairways. Nevertheless, six tee positions on each hole provide a positive experience for every handicap. On the way to the goal, however, you will be challenged again and again by the topography of the course.
