Combine breathtaking beauty with a hole in one on a golf getaway to Liguria.

Liguria is renowned for its stunning coastline and magnificent mountain scenery, but it is also home to 12 golf courses, including four 18-hole and four 9-hole courses.

The jewels in the Liguria Riviera's crown are the 18-hole courses in Sanremo, Garlenda, Cogoleto and Rapallo that allow guests to play on high-end courses while immersed in nature. The 9-hole courses of Castellaro, Albisola, Arenzano and Lerici are also located on the region's green hills, just a stone's throw from the beach. There are also driving ranges and putting greens in Genoa, Quarto Alto and Sarzana.

Liguria's golf resorts and courses are part of The Green Parks initiative that aims to promote the opportunities for golf available in the area alongside the environmental and cultural attractions of Liguria, showcasing how visitors can combine sports, nature and gastronomy tourism in one trip.

A Liguria GolfPass is available to guests, allowing them to enjoy special promotional rates to play on six 18-hole and four 9-hole courses in the Ligurian Riviera and southern Piedmont. The GolfPass is available from www.liguriagolf.com and directly from golf courses from €150 for three greens and €250 for five greens.

The list of 18-hole Ligurian golf courses include Circolo Golf Degli Ulivi in Sanremo, Golf Club Garlenda, Golf Club Sant'Anna in Cogoleto, Circolo Golf & Tennis Rapallo.

Golf visitors to Liguria are encouraged to also explore the 342km of coastline, the nature park's numerous hiking and cycling routes, the rich gastronomy culture of olive oil, fresh seafood and pesto, as well as the art and culture that can be found in the capital city Genoa.
