"Gli Ulivi" Golf Club
On the hills surrounding San Remo you can find the "Gli Ulivi" Golf Club. The Club was founded in 1932 and it is one of the most important golf clubs in the Mediterranean area. It was designed by English architects and was the very first golf club in Italy.
Set in a marvellous natural scenery, the Golf Club is surrounded by age-old olive groves and luxuriant hills - just overlooking the Ligurian Sea.
It is the perfect place for "golf lovers" and it can suit both experts and beginners.
You can spend the day among the olive groves and then enjoy a tasty dinner at the Golf Club restaurant.
Throughout the year several important events are organized here, such as the International Winter Tournament in February organised by the Rotary Fellowship, the "Trofeo delle Due Riviere" (i.e., the "Trophy of the Two Rivieras") in March, and other events that take place in summer and fall.
You can easily reach the Golf Club both from Genoa - via the A10 Genoa-Ventimiglia motorway (exit: "San Remo est"; then drive along the Aurelia bis road - exit: "Ospedale"; then follow directions to S. Giacomo, San Romolo, and the Golf Club) - and from France - via the A10 Genoa-Ventimiglia motorway, coming from Ventimiglia (exit: "San Remo ovest"; then follow directions to the Golf Club).
San Romolo Minigolf
San Romolo Minigolf was opened in July 1992 and it can offer you its 18-hole golf course, a bar, a restaurant, and several other facilities. The course winds beneath the shadowy leafy branches of the wood. As a sign of environmental awareness and protection, a wooden bridge was built to prevent any damage to the roots of age-old chestnut trees.
Within the Club premises you can see all its trophies and hire both clubs and golf balls, but you can also chose to relax at the terrace bar.
Several tournaments are organized by the Club, such as the Summer Trophy for amateurs, and the San Remo IT, the "Town of San Remo" International Trophy, and the "European Master" for experts.
San Romolo is a hamlet within San Remo municipality (about 800 m. above sea level). You can easily reach the Club via the A10 Genoa-Ventimiglia motorway (exit: Arma di Taggia; then drive along the Aurelia bis road; once you get to San Romolo, you only need to drive 10 km more and here you are).
If you chose to get to San Remo by train, then you can get a coach leaving from Piazza Colombo that will take you to San Romolo in about 20 min.
