Castelfalfi Golf Club ASD — Local services in Montaione

My husband and I played on October 9th. We rented a buggy and clubs. I would highly rate the service we received, prompt response when booking, English friendly, the staff were very friendly and helpful, explaining the course and checking us in. The course is a really neat track, and is quite difficult, even so we enjoyed the golf, and the amazing Tuscan views. The only knocks to take away from 5 stars were for the money we paid the tee boxes were pretty rough and there were quite a few dead parts in the hilly areas, which could be due to our later season game. It was also a bit unfortunate that the rental set my husband was given didn't have a matching 9 iron, it was a senior flex, and they were not cleaned for us, the bags and clubs were muddy. We also had lunch at the club house that was very nice. The food and staff were great!

Ultimately, we enjoyed the views and golf and would recommend anyone to play and get food but would recommend you bring your own clubs...

Fantastic course outlay! We played two rounds on the mountain Course. Maybe a little tough for the average golfer? The negative side when we were playing in the beginning of October 2022 is that the fairways wasn't good, the information we got was there was very heavy rain, notice that in the bunkers, the bunkers where not easy too play in this condition that's understandable. The tees was ok. The conditions of the greens was really good, almost the same feeling on every hole! To improve: There was no toilet between or service function to buy cold drinks out on the course, maybe i missed it? The only thing I saw was some tees places with benches and some empty shelters. A place between hole 9-13 with toilet and cold drinks to buy would do it!

The restaurant was a nice surprise! The only thing we missed was day 2 when they closed earlier then the day before. But they solved it and we could have some salad and bread for a late lunch!...

Jeg har ventet 24 med dette indlæg i håb om at jeg blevet kontaktet af ledelsen i forbindelse med mit besøg, men nej.

Lad mig starte med det basale.

Når man betaler mere end €600 for en firebold forventer man visse simple ting som, en flaske vand og isterninger i buggien når det nu er 35 grader varmt. Man kan vel også tillade sig at forvente at der er sand af en rimelig kvalitet i bunkers, her var det hårdt ler. Greens er som tidligere på Castelfalfi bløde med langhåret græs. Fairways var i rimelig stand uden at være prangende. Nok om banen som fortsat er en af de flotteste i Toscana, men prisen står på ingen måder i forhold til det der bliver leveret.

Så det negative.

For første gang i min tid som golfspiller oplevede jeg at der blev skudt en bold over hovedet på mig, da vi kommer op green dukker der en klap hat op og spørger hvor hans bold er! Vi er rystede og irettesætter ham for hans opførsel, hans kommentar var vi sinkede hans spil. Selvom fristelsen var stor undlod at slå ud på næste hul indtil han var væk, desværre vil jeg sige for mit teeslag ville have lige over hovedet på ham og 20-30 længere fremme end der hvor han havde slået til. Member Privilege på Castelfalfi går jeg ud fra.

Men nu til den værste oplevelse som gjorde at vi annullerede vores tid til i morgen.

Min kone holder i buggien inde på græsset ved siden af stien til hul 3 MC. Jeg står på teestedet og undrer mig over at den greenkeeper der kommer susende i en arbejdsvogn ikke tager farten af da han kan se at der er folk der skal til at slå ud, det næste jeg hører er min kone der råber stop og hører så et brag da riverne der stikker ud af siden på arbejdsvognen rammer vinduesrammen på buggien, først da det op for greenkeeperen at han har tabt noget stopper han op og går tilbage. Selvfølgelig siger han undskyld, men det falder tilbage på ledelsen af Castelfalfi at de ikke indskærper overfor deres ansatte hvordan man kører og opfører sig på banen når der er spillere i nærheden. Denne hændelse kunne være gået grueligt galt, havde buggien holdt lidt skævt var min kone med sikkerhed blevet ramt i hovedet af de to river der stak ud.

Jeg har selvfølgelig efter runden indrapporteret dette, men har som nævnt ikke hørt noget fra ledelsen af...
