Green Fees in Tuscany: What It Costs to Play in 2026

The short answer

Budget roughly 80 to 150 euros for the rounds that matter in Tuscany in 2026. The top of the card is Argentario, the macchia framed course above the Orbetello lagoon that hosted the Italian Open in 2025 and carries PGA National status: indicative fees run around 150 euros for visitors, with resort guests on preferred rates. Castelfalfi, the par 73 that stretches to about 6,645 meters through the hills of a medieval estate between Florence and Pisa, has a reputation as the hardest course in Italy and prices below the flagship.

The classics complete the picture. Ugolino, the historic home of Florentine golf whose club traces to 1889 and whose present course in the Chianti hills dates from 1934, and Punta Ala, the pine and sea course on the Maremma coast, both typically sit comfortably under the flagship fee, especially midweek. Near Siena, Royal Golf La Bagnaia sells the package model: two day golf inclusive stays from around 159 euros per person and four days from 279, green fees included, which is the cheapest serious golf in the region when the calendar cooperates. Always confirm current fees directly before booking.

The courses, and what they cost

Argentario earned its 2025 Italian Open hosting the long way, a quarter century of polishing a course that rolls through cork oak and Mediterranean scrub above the silver sheet of the Orbetello lagoon, with the fortress towns of Monte Argentario beyond. It is the most complete golf experience in the region, the wellness resort beside it is among Italy's best golf hotels, and the indicative 150 euro fee, against what national open venues cost elsewhere in Europe, reads like a misprint in the visitor's favor. Our full Argentario profile covers the round hole by hole.

Castelfalfi is the scale piece: a 27 hole property on a medieval Tuscan estate, whose championship Mountain combination stretches to roughly 6,645 meters at par 73 and has carried the title of Italy's hardest course for years. The estate hotel, borgo and olive groves make it the best stay and play address in central Tuscany. Ugolino, twenty minutes south of Florence, is the history: tight, treed, terracotta walled, golf as the Florentines built it in 1934. Punta Ala gives the trip its beach day, fairways under umbrella pines with Elba on the horizon, and La Bagnaia near Siena rounds out a week that can legitimately claim to have toured the whole region.

How to time it, and how to save

Play Tuscany in April to June or September to October, when the hills are at their photogenic best and the temperatures suit walking courses built before buggies were assumed. High summer pushes the golf to the coast, Punta Ala and Argentario catch the sea breeze that the inland estates do not, and winter golf is possible but damp, with the classics quiet and some resort operations reduced. Nothing here suffers Algarve style congestion; the scarce resource is not the tee sheet but your own itinerary discipline between lunches.

Three plays keep the budget honest. Buy golf with the bed: La Bagnaia's two and four day packages from 159 and 279 euros and Castelfalfi's estate rates beat paying walk up fees from a separate hotel. Play the classics midweek, when Ugolino and Punta Ala price gently and the member fields thin out. And if the trip is built around one splurge, make it Argentario and take the resort rate; the same logic that our 5 day Tuscany itinerary sequences in full, course by course and trattoria by trattoria.
