Golf in Florence:
Golf Ugolino - Near to Florence.
 In 1889 the British colony in Florence founded the Florence Golf Club, the first golfing association in Italy. The course was in the Cascine area and in 1905 the first Italian National Championship was held there. The idea of creating a new course began taking shape in the twenties and at the beginning of the thirties. The Tourist Board at the time considered golf to be of great attraction for tourists, so much so that signs devoted to Florence were spread throughout Italy with the simple wording: “Florence: 18 hole golf course”. Ugolino was founded on the Via Chiantigiana in 1933 and was designed by British architects Blandford and Gannon as one of the oldest course in Europe and sure one of the more fascinating.
