Scansano is located about 28 km south-east of Grosseto. There are many theories regarding the origin of the name: some believe it derives from the Etruscan word ‘scansna’. The theory of an Etruscan origin would be supported by the discovery of small settlements found in the Albegna Valley, a river that runs along the southern border of the municipality. The municipality of Scansano, as well as for its historical and scenic beauty, is also worth visiting for its wine and gastronomy. Morellino, an excellent red wine with D.O.C.G. status, produced in the area from Sangiovese and Alicante grapes, owes its name to its red colour, which takes on a garnet hue with ageing; it has a warm, dry flavour that pairs perfectly with the local specialities: ‘acquacotta’, wild boar and pecorino cheese.

It was one of the first golf courses designed in Italy, and one of the few with sea views, which has made it famous among enthusiasts. On each of the course’s 18 holes, you can enjoy an enchanting landscape that takes in the Tyrrhenian coast on one side and the green, rolling hills of the Maremma on the other. The Punta Ala Golf Club represents the perfect union between this splendid sport and unspoilt nature, with favourable climatic conditions that allow it to be played all year round.

A picturesque and well-designed course, offering panoramic views of the Tuscan Maremma. The 18 holes of the Toscana Golf Club are nestled amongst olive trees and cypresses, providing an exclusive experience. The immaculately maintained course puts players’ technique and precision to the test: the varied greens demand skill, adaptability and concentration.

The mild climate of the Tuscan Maremma and the presence of warm thermal waters make the Terme di Saturnia golf course the ideal place to play all year round. A course that respects the natural contours of the land, it is also the only one in Italy to have been designed by Californian architect Ronald Fream of Studio GolfPlan. The course was designed in strict compliance with regulations for the protection of the local environment: Terme di Saturnia Golf has been awarded the prestigious GEO Certification, one of the most sought-after in the world.
