Italy
There is still something faintly aristocratic about Italian golf, perhaps not yet a sport for all, but one played by a growing number of people in Italy. If quantity is missing, quality is certainly not. There are plenty of excellent courses in the north of Italy, especially around Milan and the lakes. The clubhouse restaurants serve great Italian cuisine - who could want for more. Generally spike shoes can be worn in & around the club house (just take a look at some of the wooden floors). To make the most of your golfing trip, and to help in your planning, you can look up the location of the best courses in Italy on our customised maps.
