Golf Ducato - Emilia Golf Experience

Golf del Ducato

A timeless gaming experience

The Golf del Ducato (host of the Italian Professional Championship in 2021, 2022, and 2023, as well as the 2023 National Under-18 Women’s Team Championship and the 2018 Individual Championship) is unanimously recognized as one of the courses with the best care and maintenance. It offers a technical Bermuda Grass par 72 course that winds through oak and acacia woods in gently hilly terrain, creating an extraordinary parkland on the outskirts of a historic residence of Maria Luisa of Austria, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.

A course where, in addition to history and great golf, you can savor the flavors of the renowned cuisine of Parma.

Lovely course long but not too difficult for an 18 handicapper. Nice ambiance and very friendly people.

Wir haben heute hier gespielt und waren rundum zufrieden. Der Empfang war sehr angenehm, man fühlt sich sehr willkommen. Die Pflege ist gut, aber natürlich ist es im Sommer immer schwierig, wenn die Temperatur um die 30 Grad liegt. Wenn man zum ersten Mal auf einem Platz spielt, braucht man immer etwas Zeit, um sich daran zu gewöhnen, und ich bin sicher, dass wir, wenn wir wieder in der Gegend sind, gerne wiederkommen werden.

Reasonably easy course, so enjoyable for all if playing from different tees Fairways were good as were the greens Tee boxes a bit of a mixture of good & not so good Bunkers need to be one type of sand in all the bunkers, way too many stones in one that I went in Overall very friendly staff and would play here again without hesitation.

I return to review this course again after a couple of years to report a marked improvement in terms of course maintenance. Excellent bermuda fairways and fast, even greens. Pleasant course to play, with lots of doglegs and several ups and downs but not too physically demanding. Excellent restaurant, I recommend the classic tortelli alle erbette di Parma. Incredible hospitality and really welcoming clubhouse atmosphere, a characteristic I have always found coming to this course.

This has to be one of the most underrated golf courses in Italy. This is a proper championship course with an excellent layout and lots of great holes where not one hole resembles the other. Gently undulating terrain only compliments this great and challenging course... playable, fair and fun…[ ] ….Fun layout, friendly staff and nice clubhouse with well stocked pro shop and very good restaurant makes this course a must play in this region and a well worthy weekend trip to Parma in combination with Salsomaggiore Terme. It is the ideal place to combine golf, nature, delicious cuisine and quality wine.
