Royal Golf La Bagnaia sits in the rolling hills of Tuscany, around 12 kilometres south-west of Siena. It's the kind of setting golfers fly to Italy for, with cypress-lined horizons, warm light across the countryside and a real sense of place from the very first tee.
As one of the newer courses in the region, La Bagnaia brings a fresh feel to Tuscan golf. The layout works with the natural movement of the land, so you'll find uphill approaches, subtle slopes and greens that reward a well-judged angle over raw power. Think about where you want to be on each hole before you pull a club, because position matters here more than distance. The views are a constant companion, yet the golf is interesting enough to keep your full attention.
Location is a big part of the appeal. Siena is close enough for an easy afternoon or evening out, so you can swap spikes for a wander through medieval streets, take in the famous Piazza del Campo and settle in at a trattoria for local wine and hearty Tuscan cooking. It suits groups well too, with golf in the morning and culture, food and wine afterwards without long transfers eating into your day.
Who is this for?
Couples, friends and golf societies who want a scenic Tuscan golf break with an easy off-course win in Siena's history, food and wine. It suits mixed-ability groups who enjoy a course that makes them think as well as admire the view.
Who is it best for?
Golfers touring Tuscany who want a modern course with standout views and a distinctive feel, within easy reach of Siena and without the crowds of a big resort round.
