Golf Club Le Fonti

The club is situated in the fascinating Sillaro Valley, with a mild and pleasant microclimate, surrounded by gently rolling hills. Nearby there are several important and attractive health and spa facilities, such as the Castel San Pietro Spa Centre and the Salute Più Health Village, 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 with flair and impeccable hospitality. Together with the surrounding area, the course, overlooking the spa facilities and on the outskirts of the mediaeval town, 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. In 2006 and 2007 the Le Fonti Golf Club hosted the Qualifying School of the Ladies European Tour, and in 2009, 2010 and 2011 it was chosen for an event of the Alps Tour international professional men’s golf circuit. Since 2007 it has been accredited as the headquarters of the Ladies Federal Technical Centre, and it also hosts the Le Fonti Golf Academy, which organizes individual and group golf clinics with modern coaching facilities, intended in particular for foreign tourists, with English teachers.
