Golf:

Adriatic Golf Club Cervia:  www.golfcervia.com
The 27 holes course winds through an area of almost 100 hectares along the old pine-forest and a fascinating seaside. Marco Croze and Alvise Rossi Fioravanti have designed the first 9 holes in a typical Scottish link style, the second 9 holes follow the classic North American models and the last 9 holes have a design that makes this sport still more pleasant.

Riolo Golf & Country Club:  www.riologolf.it   
In a beautiful and sweet scenery, one of the most charming in Emilia Romagna's lands.  Surrounded by the striking chalk vein and by the green hills of the tosco-romagnolo Appenines, this modern course stretchers over more than 200 hectares of green, uncontaminated nature.

Rimini Golf Club a Verucchio: www.riminigolf.com
This beautiful, American-inspired golf course is situated just a few kilometres from Rimini and its international airport. Rimini Golf Club offers a charming course and thanks to its 18 championship and 7 executive holes, which are reserved for beginners, it can satisfy the requirements of all golf enthusiasts. Its gently rolling fairways, dotted here and there with bunkers and small lakes, guarantee that any game is just a little more demanding on the golfer.

Golf Club Le Fonti Castel San Pietro:  www.golfclublefonti.it
Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient ravines, this course is a great challenge. Don't let the picturesque setting fool you, as you'll need the driver on more than one occasion. At over 7,000 yards off the whites, it's a real test for all handicappers, and with numerous elevated tees and clever approaches, each hole provides you with a different obstacle, which makes for a hugely entertaining round of golf. 18 holes. Par 72. 7,128 yards. Parkland.
 
Bologna Golf Club: cms.golfclubbologna.it

Its layout is constantly being up-dated and in recent years, it has played host to the Italian Amateur Championships many times as well as to a great number of top level professional competitions.
