3 nights with breakfast at Anusca Palace Hotel including one Green fee per person (Golf Club Le Fonti)

A young golf club with a short history, it opened in 1999. But the Golf Club Le Fonti already boasts the organization of important professional events in its record book, ranging from the Qualifying School of the Ladies European Tour in 2006 and 2007, and three stops on the Men’s Alps Tour between 2009 and 2011, to the Federgolf National Championship in 2016. It is a lively and welcoming golf course, whose heart and soul, Chairman Ivan Serrantoni, is also the architect behind the 18-hole course which winds through an almost completely flat terrain with very wide fairways and few trees. These are characteristics which might deceive players into considering it an easy course. However, the long distances and many hazards, including but not limited to water, always waiting in ambush, make finishing with a good score nothing to take for granted. If you’d rather play a relaxing match, all you need do is choose one of the more advanced tees and the difficulty is immediately downsized. This destination will be particularly pleasing to those who enjoy combining golf with the relaxation of a spa. Castel San Pietro, along the Via Emilia between Bologna and Imola, is a renowned resort for spa treatments due to the sulphurous and salt water – bromine – iodine waters that flow from the land here – and the pleasures of the palate, to be enjoyed in the clubhouse or the many local trattorias. Technical Details Course : 18 holes, Par 72, 6480 meters Architect : Ivano Serrantoni Topography : spacious, much water, flat Special features : water obstacles present in 7 holes Pro’s comments: Playing golf at Le Fonti is a true pleasure. Undulating holes alternate with flat ones creating a very pleasant mixture. I would like to mention Hole 11, a long Par 4 with a dogleg to the left. You must be powerful and precise to reach the green with two shots, but if you play it cautiously and with intelligence, you should always be able to bring a bogey home.
