Argentario, Tuscany attracting major sponsors

This summer, the coastal Argentario Resort Golf & Spa has a number of golf competitions attracting golfers and sponsors from all over the world.

The course

Argentario’s course is located in a protected natural area, only five minutes from the Duna Feniglia Nature Reserve and as a result it’s blessed with natural beauty.

The course was designed by architect David Mezzacane and professional golfer Baldovino Dassù. The holes were subsequently shaped by Brian Jorgensen, making for a course tough course, rich in variety.

The Tuscan course is 6, 218 in length and has a par of 71. It has mostly small greens, which on occasion are dominated by the sea and the lagoon, or immersed in Mediterranean vegetation.

As well as being a great test of golf, the course has been awarded the ‘Agri Cert’ certification for its bio eco-compatibility, as all products used for its maintenance are completely natural.
