THE COURSE: Terme di Saturnia Golf Course was developed by the Californian architect Ronald Fream of Golfplan. The championship course, 18 holes, par 72, 6,294 m is set over 70 hectares at just 100 meters from Terme di Saturnia hotel. The course has been built to respect and safeguard local nature with the aim of earning the Italian Federation´s ecological certification. The construction of the course has had absolutely no effect on local fauna, with deer, porcupines, hares, tortoises, pheasants, carious local species of dove and pigeon, wild boars and countless other Maremman birds visible in the early hours of the morning. Artificial lakes and natural ditches throughout the golf course have in turn attracted other species. The terrain is partly flat with same gentle slopes and a few slightly undulating fairways. The course is home to three streams and some larger water hazards at holes 1, 2, 3, 9, and 18, with sand bunkers that resemble Scottish lynxes and the green predominantly surrounded by gentle mounts are technically and aesthetically very impressive.

GOLF SCHOOL DRIVING RANGE: The course features a driving range with opposite double tee box. The southern one with 9 covered positions with video camera facilities and high-tech analysis equipment for swing correction is mainly used by the golf school, while the northern one, near the start of the hole 4 is used for regular practice. The practice range is set on an undulating 33.000 m2 piece of land with its four greens providing players with the sensation of playing for real, complemented by a pitching and a putting green. If you would like to try for the first time, you can book lessons with our professional instructor from Tuesday to Sunday. The course is also winter base of PGA of Germany and a member of Leading Golf.
