Good and very stilish

I was playing here last year, in May. It was a rainy day, but very pleasant golf game. Of course, you have to consider a lot of compensation in your strokes, because the fairways are VERY, VERY SLOAPED! After first 3 holes... I was very sorry I didn't take a cart, and after the 6th hole, practically i was playing as a robot. Even I am a 6 days/ week player!!!
A special comment for style of golf house and facilities for golf club members.

Tuscany feeling, but unfair place

The landscape is terrific, but unfortunately the place cannot keep up. The first nine holes are so steep that you sometimes can't find the ball. In the summer, when the fairways are hard, I think the course is unplayable. Greens partly hidden from view, knowledge of the place is required.
Fairways were reasonably okay, with smaller bald spots, bunkers not in the best condition, greens slow and very small.
Course maintenance could certainly be improved.
Green fee around € 100 is simply overpriced for my taste, 60 to 70 would be okay.
The pull trolley provided has seen better days.
Secretariat closed on Mondays, Caddy Master very friendly!

Ups and downs

Visually a treat. It's not the "alpine" ups and downs that are a bit unfair, but the inclines. When the fairways were hit several times, the ball often ended up far into nirvana. Nevertheless, a recommendable and interesting place

Ideal for mountain goats

... Pretty challenging for everyone else. Wonderful place, difficult, always oblique, always height difference. After the round, as a mid-sixties e-trolley pusher, you are really tired, but have a permanent grin on your face. Then you can enjoy the club restaurant twice as much, which is also excellent...

Sorry but not about the prices

We wanted to play 9 holes in the late afternoon: 2 green fees of €60 plus 1 cart for €30 = €150. At some point the fun stops.

Extremely sporty and demanding

E-carts are strongly recommended on very warm days. Due to the very frequent inclination, precise and well thought-out play is essential. Players with HPC> 36 should keep their fingers off the pitch. The location in Tuscany is fantastic and the restaurant can be booked from 8 p.m. Good dishes, good wines at affordable prices.
Tip: 5 card 18 holes costs 350 €. Snow game!

Very sporty and demanding

The typical Tuscan course is designed to be very sporty and demanding, if only because of the extreme differences in altitude and the narrow lanes. You are compensated for the uphill and downhill exertions with a breathtaking view of Tuscany. E-carts or e-trolleys are highly recommended.
The slightly run-down restaurant and clubhouse appears in the look of the 60s-70s and offers very tasty pasta dishes.
Played in October 2020

Picture book Tuscany

Spectacular views of the surrounding hills and villages, just great. Large differences in height make the course a challenge. Unfortunately, fairways were extremely brown in 08/2020 due to the drought, but it was a great day of golf. Secretariat very friendly, restaurant cheap and tasty.

Tuscany just great

Very interesting and varied. The first nine mostly sloping fairways and rather short... but not to be underestimated since the greens are small. These perfectly maintained and extremely fast. The second nine holes open and wider straight fairways and longer lanes. All in all, we will definitely be back.

Pure Toscana flair

We played the parade on Fridays. 80, - € pP Dür 18 hole is ok, but the buggy 50, - € is violent. A buggy is in my view very recommendable because the narrow, sloping and at the first 9 hole steep fairways with narrow greens already require all the concentration. The backnines have wider fairways. Place is in very good condition. Great view over the countryside.

Necessarily play

In the course of a motorhome holiday we crossed the Tuscany. First, we looked for a place where we were allowed to stay overnight. So rather casually we played in Ugolino, as it was the only place that let us spend the night! Nice side effect: pool and good sanitary facilities are safe!
The reception was unlikely to be warm and several people took care of us! On the first day I played 18 holes without Car together with a nice 70 year old member (HCP 16), so you could get to know country and people. The place is mega demanding by the many height differences and narrow lanes. For beginners rather nothing, especially the first nine are often extremely in a page. Without Car the whole thing at 30 degrees to play is actually madness! The next day we played the second nine with Car, which are much flatter. The place is certainly by its history (one of the oldest squares in Tuscany) not the most modern. You can say that he has charm!
But the layout and the Tuscany-wide view have flair, so definitely play. My favorite teas: 2,3,9 and 18

Varied golf course in the middle of Tuscany

I played the course (18 holes) in the middle of July 2017. At outside temperatures of 35 degrees a buggy is highly recommended, because the paths are long. The pitch has good differences in height and some strong slopes. The tees and greens were well maintained despite the high temperatures. The fairways were partly a bit brown, but overall well-kept. The course is varied and challenging. In some places you have a good view over Tuscany. Driving range is ok. The staff at the front desk is friendly and helpful. The restaurant I found however not particularly inviting. Overall a good place in the region.

Exhausting

We played the pitch at over 30 degrees well we had a buggy! The tees are very different some nice green the other rather brown. At the moment it has not rained for a long time and this is reflected on the pitch! The greens are actually well maintained. A place worth playing.

Visually a pleasure golferisch not 100%

I played the course in April 2016 best weather conditions (21 ° C, sunny, no wind). The facility is wonderful nestled in the Tuscan countryside and always offers great views of the beautiful surroundings.

But the Tuscan countryside is also the reason for my title and a point deduction. Even if you placed haircuts well left or right of the fairway edge (which I succeeded a few times), you then place the ball anywhere on the First Cut (eg at 1), or just before the water (eg at 10) again because the fairways often depend heavily. Moreover, were the greens, although mowed in good condition and short, relatively slow.

But that enough of criticism! As I said, beautifully landscaped, very nice people in the Secretariat, pro shop and in the Gastro. Overall, good to very good location status. Beautiful infrastructure such as driving range and club house (maybe a bit long in the tooth, but OK). Impairing ends traffic noise I could not identify (though a few holes run along the road). 80 euro green fee for Good Friday I find absolutely OK.

Nice place but too expensive

A very nice place, very friendly staff and the offer to take a shower (towels and everything available) However, 70 € per person for 9 holes definitely too much.

Beautiful golf course

The place is beautiful, the condition was ok to good, the place is Tuscan, the place is quiet, the place is varied, but the place is also expensive for what they offer in total. So we felt it at least in comparison to other places on this holiday.
For lack of alternatives, I would come back.

Old and Reverend?

It really is fantastic to drive here a round (the cart was for us a good recommendation of the clubhouse). Ugolino is supposedly the first golf course in Tuscany. Does one not at all. No short doglegs and some links character. Tuscany is a wonderful place with beautifully manicured fairways and greens. Challenging with some very nice views and always varied. Recommended!

Beautiful, well-kept place, great views

The course provides in particular to track 11 beautiful and typical Tuscany prospects. From track 13 it is quite spectacular, but still with the great trees an experience.

The place is in tip top shape. The fairways remember not to an acre. The greens are short, well kept ground. No brown spots.

It was not busy. The staff was very friendly. The green fee slightly cheaper than stated (70 € if you buy a 5-card). It remains tidy.

I recommend the place highly on and the most important tip: take Kart!

It was great

No idea whether 4 or 5 star! The place was just beautiful! It was neither loud nor was it a field! A golfcart is advisable. Quaint and recommended. Who looks at prices never allowed to play anyway ;)

Fantastically beautiful views of ancient cypress trees, mediocre Golflatz

You should have played it definitely times! It is a traditional club, located in a very hilly Tarain and boasts beautiful old trees. Especially the first 9 holes are very narrow, with pitfalls, the second 9 holes are open. Overall, however, as unspäktakulär golf course.

Avoid at all costs

Ugolino is a neglected field, which is marketed well to outrageous prices. The much-hyped Tuscany feeling has also not set with me. The field lies in a basin surrounded by noisy highways, to see there is nothing there.
Who maintained a technically challenging course at reasonable prices and with more visibility - of some places up to Volterra - want to play on, is better placed to Castelfalfi.

Elder GC Italy

The GC provides all the beauty of Tuscany on 18 tracks. Pheasants and geese, cypresses and olive trees, fantastic views and not too challenging golfing. Very hilly, a cart (40 EUR) is useful. The dressing rooms in the style of the early 20th Century. are worth a look. Very friendly Secretariat.

Ugolino Golf Club

Beautiful place with absolute Tuscany feel.
Is very exhausting, especially in hot weather, because very hilly, use best Cart.
Great atmosphere, great service.
36 hcp justified as a minimum requirement.
