Golfing in Tuscany

Golfing in Tuscany is possible 365 days a year, as the weather conditions are always indulgent. These last few days would actually contradict this statement, but snow and extreme cold in Tuscany are quite rare and are due to occasional factors. In normal conditions temperatures never reach below freezing temperatures during the daytime, and the natural hilly conformation of the land makes golfing in Tuscany the perfect activity. It is therefore not surprising that in the region you can find 27 golf courses. Not all of them are full 18-hole greens, but each one presents the player perfectly groomed holes in wonderful scenic settings.
