Tirrenia Golf Club boasts one of the oldest, most enchanting golf courses in Tuscany. A garden where relaxation and sport have found their sanctuary.
Designed by the English architect Ken Cotton and expertly crafted in 1967, the course is immersed in the magnificent greenery of a centuries-old pinewood and lush Mediterranean scrubland. Today it is part of the San Rossore Natural Park. Recognized in previous years by Golf Digest magazine as the best 9-hole course in Italy, it offers players a harmonious and stimulating experience
At the Tirrenia Golf Club, each hole challenges players to skilfully manoeuvre the ball, both from the tee, navigating narrow starts between trees, and in shots to the small greens. Missing these greens means tough shots from the woods for less experienced players. The course record, set by pro Joe Messana, stands at 69 strokes, just 3 strokes below par.
The Club welcomes visitors year-round, benefiting from the consistently mild climate of the Tirrenian sregion. The unique layout of the course shields it from cold winds in winter while offering a pleasantly cool and breezy experience in summer.
Our classic Club House offers essential comforts and amenities including a bar, restaurant, reading and game room, and changing facilities. With its inviting atmosphere, the Club encourages camaraderie among members and extends a warm welcome to guests.
Since 2005, the Club has been [BS1] under the ownership of Geom. Romolo Berti.
A Par 5 hole, not excessively challenging but demanding a precise tee-shot. Along the fairway, the forest poses a significant challenge. The expansive and slightly elevated green is protected by two cunning bunkers on its right side
A Par 4 hole, characterized by a subtle left dog-leg. The ideal direction for the initial shot is towards the second bunker, situated over 200 meters from the tee
Initially appearing as a straightforward Par 4 hole, this deceivingly challenging course features a grass bunker at 180 meters from the tee and two sand bunkers guarding the green, demanding precision with every shot. The expansive green, covering over 400 square meters, presents an additional challenge with its initial slope
Regarded as the easiest hole on the course, yet not to be taken lightly. The tee shot is frequently affected by the wind, making the choice of the correct iron more challenging
An arduous right dog-leg featuring a bunker at the bend of the hole. Only a precisely placed tee shot affords a clear view of the green. Positioned 80 meters from the green, to the right of the fairway, a prominent tree penalizes less accurate shots
The bunker located in the centre of the fairway, serving as the landing spot for the second shot, stands out as one of the primary challenges of this Par 5 hole, despite the fairway's width. Surrounding the green are some "camel humps," offering potential salvation from misjudgements
Stretching over 190 meters, this Par 3 hole presents a formidable challenge with a green carefully guarded by a treacherous bunker. Punitive forest lines both sides of the fairway, adding to the difficulty
Handicap 1 difficulty for this lengthy par with ample bunkers on either side of the fairway
Another hole of extreme difficulty. With a distance of over 170 meters, players must clear the left bunker and possibly "cut" the hole to avoid facing a nearly prohibitive second shot to the green. The green, though fairly spacious, is guarded by two tricky bunkers — one on the right and the other on the left
