Planet Golf: Destination Tuscany

Home to Tuscany’s finest championship golf course, Toscana Resort Castelfalfi has officially launched its new luxury golf country clubhouse, the resort’s latest restoration development and the jewel in the crown of the Golf Club Castelfalfi.

Set on 2,700 acres of protected terrain with two renowned courses, the ancient farmhouse turned country clubhouse offers local members, guests, and residents with properties on the estate, the opportunity to fully embrace the great outdoors and enjoy one of the best social distancing activities on offer following lockdown.

Aligning with the resort’s strong eco brand values, the new clubhouse has been carefully restored using green building principles and sustainable materials and offers both golf aficionados and novices a wide range of immersive experiences and activities throughout the year.

Constructed with recycled oak and reclaimed stone and marble, the golf country clubhouse is a stylish retreat that opens out to the surrounding fairways and estate grounds. Guests can take advantage of the chic fine-dining restaurant and rustic bar offering panoramic views and regional dishes prepared with locally produced ingredients and organic wine from the estate’s vineyards.

Additional features include luxury changing rooms, state-of-the-art-meeting and event spaces, and a pro shop selling best-in-class equipment. Now officially open, a varied calendar of exclusive events is being gradually introduced to guests including monthly tournaments, talks from experts, golf workshops, culinary events, and wine pairings to complement the wider resort offering.

The award-winning Golf Club Castelfalfi, widely recognised as a year-round mecca for golfers of all abilities, is comprised of a scenic 27-hole layout split into two modern courses by renowned golf architects Preissmann and Moroder. The courses span 9,000 metres of green hillside and have been created sustainably to follow the natural morphology of the landscape.

Additionally, the club carefully manages the development of renewable energy by recycling its water resources and carries the internationally recognised golf eco-label GEO Certified™. The 18-hole Mountain Course is a more challenging option for experienced golfers while the 9-hole Lake Course is suitable for improvers and complete beginners who can take advantage of daily personalised lessons.
Both courses offer an unparalleled golfing experience in a beautiful setting further enhanced by Tuscany’s mild year-round climate and accessibility to UK and Irish travellers.

A three-night ‘Golf Short Break’ package at Toscana Resort Castelfalfi starts from £721 (approx. 793€) per person. This includes three nights’ accommodation at the luxury Hotel Il Castelfalfi - TUI BLUE SELECTION with breakfast, a four-course meal for one, 2 complimentary green fees for the 18-hole Mountain Course, and unlimited spa access.
