Emilia Romagna Golf

The club is situated in the fascinating Sillaro Valley, with a mild and pleasant microclimate, surrounded by gently rolling hills. Nearby there are several attractive health and spa facilities, where treatments for physical and mental wellbeing can be combined with the game of golf.

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 club house provides catering services with an excellent restaurant that develops the local traditions of food and wine. The course 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. It also hosts the famous Le Fonti Golf Academy, which organizes individual and group golf clinics with modern coaching facilities, intended in particular for foreign tourists, with English teachers.

Casalunga Golf Club is located just outside Bologna, less than ten minutes from the city centre. A flat course with 9 simple holes, it is particularly beautiful and in an exceptional natural setting.

In fact, it stands around a wonderful lake, a haven for numerous species of migratory birds. In technical terms, it covers 3,010 metres and is a par 36, with some particularly difficult holes that require great precision and prudence. A bar, changing rooms, gym, fitness centre and outdoor pool complete the new facilities housed in the glass and steel club buildings. It is also possible to savour sophisticated dishes served in the club restaurant, housed in the old club house – formerly a farmhouse that has been wonderfully renovated. A famous American architect is currently designing the new course. 

One of the classic Italian courses, designed by Cotton & Harris and built in 1959, the golf club is situated on splendid rolling countryside with marvellous sweeping panoramic views across the surrounding hills and plains.

Its layout is constantly being up-dated and in recent years, it has played host to the Italian Amateur Championships many times as well as to a great number of top level professional competitions. The smart and elegant clubhouse blends in well with the surrounding countryside and is the ideal place to sample the refined cuisine of the club restaurant, which has been named amongst the top ten club restaurants in Italy on more than one occasion. The club’s facilities are completed by a splendid summer swimming pool, open from June to mid-September. In 2000, Peter Alliss made some changes to the course. 

It offers an 18-hole par 70 course that covers 5,480 metres and is varied, technical and fun. Set in the magnificent Apennines near Bologna, it perfectly combines the exigencies of the most skilled players with those of players who consider golf a way to enjoy the surroundings to the full.

The first 9 holes, which are short and technically demanding, are perfectly complemented by the second 9 holes that are much longer and wider but equally spectacular. Thanks to the particularly pleasant climate - breezy in the summer and never foggy in winter - it is possible to play here all year round. It has a wonderful club house located in a converted hay barn and its enormous oak beams and large fireplace ensure it is always warm and welcoming. The restaurant, in the old grinding room, serves excellent quality, traditional local cuisine.

All these things are part of Emilia Romagna Golf.
