In Prato, just a few kilometers from Florence, a course that fits harmoniously into the surrounding landscape is compelling and capable of testing the players' technique.
Water obstacles placed at strategic points guarantee fun, and the centuries-old park surrounding the course makes it usable in any season.
In a 19th-century villa on one of Leopold dei Medici's estates - restored and enriched with amenities - the passion of a few players eager to make their own course, gave way in 1995 to the opening of 18 holes designed by architect Arnold Palmer.
Since then, many champions as well as golf enthusiasts have come to the course, and national and international sporting events, such as the European Challenge Tour Open, have been hosted.
