Updated on 14 May 2024 From Bologna Welcome
If you love sports but are looking for something different than the same old favourite around town, golf is a great alternative that combines physical activity with nature and beautiful views.
This activity will get you playing and enjoying yourself in fascinating places outside the chaotic city routine.
Below you find a selection of golf clubs in Bologna and the surrounding area where you can try your hand at this marvellous sport on well-equipped courses.
If you want to play golf near the city, the Siepelunga Golf Club is located just 5 minutes from the centre of Bologna, surrounded by nature and easily accessible by car.
This facility is designed and built to be naturally embedded in the environmental, historical and cultural framework of the city's hills.
Featuring a two-storey clubhouse with a restaurant, event facilities and changing rooms, this is an ideal place for families with a range of dedicated packages and subscriptions.
The 18-hole Bologna Golf Club on a 5,846-metre course ranks among the most beautiful in Italy, located in Monte San Pietro, just 20 minutes from the centre of Bologna.
One of Italy's historic courses, built in 1959, the club is set on hilly terrain with beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding hillside and lowlands. The course, which is constantly being updated, has hosted the Italian Amateur Championships several times in recent years, as well as numerous qualified races for professionals.
It features an elegant clubhouse, integrated into the landscape, and a swimming pool open in summer.
In the direction of Imola, on the other hand, in Castel San Pietro, Le Fonti Golf Club is a historic club founded back in 1999.
This 18-hole course is located in a beautiful area of the Sillaro river valley overlooking the Po valley.
Adjoining the course are the Terme di Castel San Pietro spa and the ancient Fegatella springs.
The Club offers a restaurant, gym, outdoor swimming pool and other amenities.
Molino Del Pero Golf Club, nestled among the hills of the Bolognese Apennines in Monzuno, has an 18-hole circuit for experts and beginners alike.
The Club was established as a result of the recovery of one of the 28 ancient 19th-century mills scattered along the Savena River. Some surviving examples can still be seen along the river banks, unsurprisingly giving their name to the stretch of road where the Golf Club is located: 'Via dei Mulini'.
The Club offers a Club House with restaurant, meeting rooms and recreation areas.
Casalunga Golf Club is nestled in the green Emilian countryside in Castenaso, features 18 holes and is just 15 minutes from Bologna, within easy reach by car.
It offers a clubhouse with an indoor lounge and a large outdoor terrace, a swimming pool and a gym.
