Rimini Golf Club   
 

The course, designed by the famous American architect Brian M. Silva, extends over the lush green expanse of the Valmarecchia Park. All around, it offers unrivalled and truly breathtaking views of the medieval boroughs of Verucchio, Torriana and San Leo. Standing out in the background are the castles of the “Land of Liberty”, the Republic of San Marino, and Mount Carpegna. 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. In the past, Rimini Golf Club has hosted the Rimini International Open, one of the most prestigious competitions in the European Challenge Tour for professionals, and in 2004 was chosen by the newly founded F.I.G.D. (Federazione Italiana Golf Disabili - Italian Disabled Golf Federation) to host the 6th Italian Golf Open for the Disabled. In 2006, the Rimini Golf Club hosted the 1st Provincial Individual Golf Championship organized by the Italian Golf Federation.
