The route in detail
Designed in the heart of a Tuscan valley bordered by mountains, this 18-hole course perfectly combines American aesthetics and Mediterranean charm. Palmer introduced a distinctive playing architecture: linear fairways, generous and undulating greens, numerous water hazards, all surrounded by majestic cypresses and punctuated by bridges and walls painted in ocher and terracotta colors, typical of the region.
A unique environment
The terrain, relatively flat, allows a clear reading of the game, while requiring good control of trajectories due to the constant presence of lakes, canals and well-positioned bunkers. The whole makes up a course that is both pleasant for beginners and stimulating for experienced golfers.
Le Pavonière offers a real immersion in the Tuscan art of living, within a park steeped in history, with a view of the southern mountains. Between architectural rigor and landscape aesthetics, each hole becomes a moment of visual pleasure as well as sporting pleasure.
