Montecatini Golf Club
The 18-hole "La Pie Vaccia" golf course winds its
way amidst Tuscan Hills near the ancient Medieval town of
Monte Vettolini. Its greens host national and international
competitions, and offer villa's guests fine opportunities to
complement their spa treatments and cures.
The course follows the natural hilly form of the area and each
of the 18 holes has individual features. From the 9th hole,
for example, all the previous 8 can be seen, while the 5th,
10th and 18th have two little ponds. The Club House must be
mentioned, an old Tuscan hamlet, now restored, whose original
part dates back to the before the year 1000.

Montecatini
Golf is an 18-hole links located in the heart of the
Tuscany countryside between the coast of Versillia and the
magnifi-cent cities of Florence, Lucca and Pisa. Montecatini
Golf, whose layout follows the place "'s confor-mation
of hills, stretches out over a course of 18 holes. Par 72,
for a total length of 5857 m for men and 5127 m for women.
The links has a number of holes that are of extraordinary
technical and scenic attraction. From the green of hole 9
you can take in with a single gian-ce the first nine holes
featuring olive trees that mark the delicate dog legs of the
fairways and the boundaries of the course. There are two
lakes to make the game even more exciting at holes 5, 10 and
18, while on the second one you are immediately struck the
image of the Mediterranean scrub with the colors and scent
of heather, broom, undergrowth and laurel. A course made
even nicer by the continuous aesthetic and technical
improvements, in obser-vance of the context of its scenery.
Also
the Club House could not be but a building of historical and
architectural prestige. It was founded on Etruscan and Roman
settlements (it's present core dates back to the year 1000)
and has been restored in observance of its historical
structure. It has now become an evocative place for meeting
up with others and relaxing. In complete harmony with the
surrounding scenery, thanks to its warmth - which is typical
of Tuscany farmhouses -it blends in with the lively green of
the fields and scrub. The roof with its roof tiles and bent
tiles bring you back in time, when Leonardo da Vinci took
walks in this area. Inside you will find all that which
Tuscan hospitality has to offer.
