The Italian region of Emilia Romagna has come up with a winning holiday formula that sets golf alongside art,
gastronomy and spas.
Put simply, Emilia Romagna is the bit that sweeps from Rimini on the Adriatic coast up through the medieval towns
and cities of Ravenna, Modena and Parma to Piacenza to the west and it is Italy's "numero uno" choice for a golf
holiday. Emilia Romagna won the award for being the best emerging golf destination in 2004.
Here golfers can enjoy some of the best kept courses in Europe, wonderfully situated in soaring countryside and
at prices that will leave you with enough to enjoy the odd bottle of Lambrusco.
If you are a food lover, this is a golfing region to tickle the palate with a spread of gastronomic offerings
that wouldn't be out of place in Harrods food hall. Pasta, pasta, pasta is a delicious speciality.
Emilia Romagna prides itself on the quality of its golf and boasts courses which are not only superb in condition
but are technically demanding with elegant, well-appointed clubhouses and friendly people. A bonus is the clubhouse
restaurants which, like the club, are open all year round and typically offer a varied and freshly prepared choice
of dishes at very reasonable prices.
On the Adriatic coastline, you can enjoy a golf holiday near a stunning beach or stay in the centre of the region
and enjoy your golf close to regenerating spas, historic sights or world famous restaurants.
Ferrari and these stunning sports cars are made in this region, along with two other world beating marques
in Lamborghini and Ducati. Each has its own motor museum and is definitely worth visiting.
Between Ravenna and Bologna lies the world famous Imola racetrack and just in case you thought Imola only has
a racetrack, take a detour. It is also a historic town, the home of both Leonardo da Vinci and members of the
Borgia dynasty.
All the golf courses lie just of the "Autostrade", Emilia Romagna's main motorway, which runs east to west across
the region.
