Puglia is one of the most exciting recent additions to the Mediterranean golf scene. The climate offers a genuine year-round alternative to southern Spain and the Algarve; and with the addition of San Domenico, Acaya and Metaponto to the established championship venue of Riva dei Tessali, which hosts an annual PGA Challenge Tour event in May, Puglia has achieved critical golfing mass.
The courses are quite different in character but all are a pleasure to play for golfers of every standard, with a steady to stiff prevailing breeze adding to the challenge. Visiting all courses from a single base is possible, but for a short visit it makes sense to concentrate on San Domenico and Acaya on the Adriatic coast; or Riva dei Tessali and Metaponto on the Gulf of Taranto.
