Everything about the top golf courses in Liguria
Liguria is not a major golf powerhouse, but it can be a very pleasant golf region when approached in the right way. For golfers looking at the top golf courses in Liguria, Golf Club Garlenda is the main reference point and Golf Club degli Ulivi as the logical second name.
The region's golf works best as an extension of the Riviera experience. The rounds are tied closely to the rhythm of coastal towns, sea light and short inland transitions.
The wider story matters. Portofino, the Cinque Terre, San Remo and the wider Italian Riviera give the region real substance away from the course, and golf works best here as part of that broader regional journey.
Liguria therefore suits golfers who want a stylish coastal base with a few worthwhile rounds rather than a long list of heavyweight courses. It is best understood as Riviera golf with character.
