The price of this course would absolutely be worth it given the location and scenery except the conditions are terrible. I would say only about 50 percent of the grass on the greens is alive. I don't know if they are fighting a disease or pests but you are basically putting on dirt. The fairways had a good amount of ground under repair (or should be under repair). For the price (about 200$ American) I was expecting conditions equivalent to a TPC course. I've played courses for 40$ in much superior condition.

I’m glad I played but probably won’t come back to this course if I have to use their clubs again 🤷♂️ for the #1 course in Italy you’d expect some nicer...
