Poggio dei Medici Golf Club
Poggio dei Medici is one of the strongest and most complete inland Tuscan courses
Poggio dei Medici is one of the strongest and most complete inland Tuscan courses, with a reputation earned through substance rather than image alone. Set in the Mugello hills, within a landscape that alternates cultivated order and a wilder natural feel, the layout delivers a long, demanding and highly credible test of golf. It challenges course management, iron play and mental patience, making it particularly rewarding for players who enjoy serious architecture rather than decorative effect. Yet the Tuscan setting keeps the experience warmer and more pleasurable than a scorecard alone might suggest. For travelers seeking a club with real sporting depth and enough surrounding comfort to turn a round into a quality short escape, Poggio dei Medici is an excellent address. It appeals most strongly to golfers who want the game itself to stand at the center of the journey, not merely as an accessory to a hotel stay or rural weekend.
Giocalo con energia fresca: è uno di quei campi che premiano molto chi resta lucido negli ultimi sei buchi, quando il disegno si fa davvero selettivo.
Percorso di sostanza tecnica notevole
Ottimo per golfisti che cercano un vero test in Toscana
Meno leggero per chi vuole un round puramente leisure
Richiede buona forma e attenzione per essere goduto pienamente
Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Borgo San Lorenzo — Tavolo di Campagna
In Mugello, the best table is often not the most celebrated but the most sincere: local wine, fresh olive oil, properly aged cured meats and a rhythm far removed from fast tourism. After Poggio dei Medici, it is the most natural continuation imaginable.
“Ask for the house wine and the off-menu board instead of the most famous label: here, luxury means finding a table that does not need to explain itself.”
Mugello — Strada Panoramica delle Crete
The secondary roads between Scarperia, Sant'Agata and the Mugello hills have a cinematic quality of soft bends, scattered cypresses and farmhouses appearing and disappearing in the light. It is the perfect detour for understanding the landscape that gives Poggio dei Medici its breathing room.
“Drive it in late afternoon with the windows down: Mugello is at its best not when it is monumental, but when it feels agricultural, quiet and almost private.”
Spa del Mugello — Pietra e Vapore
A small wellness retreat among Tuscan stone and the scent of local herbs, designed more to soften the day than to stage it. After the undulations of Poggio dei Medici, it is the kind of recovery that restores the body without breaking the countryside mood.
“Book the final massage slot and stay another half hour in the steam area: when Mugello's evening air cools outside, the contrast makes everything feel more effective and memorable.”
