Golf in Emilia Romagna

The Golf Club Bologna is history, tradition and is even more: the club is the oldest one among those which go on “according to tradition” according to the will of its founder.

Achille Sassoli de Bianchi “wanted it, created it and I know how much he loved it,” his wife Anna says proudly. Today Filippo Sassoli, just as proudly as Achille, runs and loves it.

Its overall shape is reminiscent of British inland courses, with greens well protected by bunkers and nothing particularly original about the layout as a whole. You certainly wouldn’t come here just for the thrills of striking visual beauty, but the moderation in the layout of hazards makes this a pleasant course for almost every player. Only the very best might rue the absence of a tougher challenge.

Le Fonti Golf club is situated in the fascinating Sillaro Valley, with a mild and pleasant microclimate, surrounded by gently rolling hills.

The course, which stretches for a total of 6,480 metres, has 18 holes and is par 72, and is extremely varied and entertaining both for experienced players and beginners. The clubhouse provides catering services within excellent restaurant that develops the local traditions of food and wine with flair and impeccable hospitality.

Together with the surrounding area, the course, overlooking the spa facilities and on the outskirts of the medieval town, offers an ample variety of opportunities for fine dining, recreation, cultural activities, sports and music that allow guests to enjoy a pleasant and unforgettable stay.
