San Valentino Golf Club

From a technical perspective, this is no stroll through the park. With its narrow fairways, small greens and continuously changing levels, this 18-hole par 72 course designed in 1998 at San Valentino is undoubtedly challenging. However, the pleasure of a match on this well-kept course in the inlands south of Reggio Emilia where the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines begin, is a worthwhile experience. You are surrounded by nature as you play – there is also a nature trail with a gym in the woods and a romantic lake and chapel for private ceremonies. The kindness and helpfulness of the staff are a true plus that inspire tourists to return. The lovely and welcoming clubhouse, with its large picture windows looking onto Hole 18, is the perfect place to regenerate after a match and enjoy a sunset with its magical colors reflecting on the leaves of the woodland.

Technical Details Course: 18 holes, Par 72, 5953 meters

Architect: Carlo Quintelli.

Topography: important differences in height, narrow paths, insidious greens.

Distinctive features: if your physical conditions are not good, you risk to pant quickly! The course is not simple at all to play. Those who are able to master well their clubs will reach a good score. Long shots don’t actually help in this rather demanding course.
