A fascinating story the one of the Golf Club Gli Ulivi, which began eighty years ago (the official opening was on 20th February 1932) and which was made almost mythical by the events and the protagonists which it has welcomed since its fortunate creation. Kings and queens, actors and princesses, great ladies and journalists, as well as business men and personalities of both the Italian and foreign jet set.<\/p>\n
The birth of the Golf Club degli Ulivi was a brilliant intuition which projected Sanremo (then as today) to the centre of the golf and tourist world, attracting\u00a0 thousands of players and fans in just a few months and for the following decades. Champions of the calibre of Ballesteros and Lager but also famous journalists and writers, actresses such as Sophia Loren and Emma Grammatica have trodden those same greens on which\u00a0 before them true stars of the 30\u2019s such as the famous sweethearts Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford\u00a0 were immortalized.<\/p>\n
Sanremo\u2019s\u00a0 golf course is apparently simple, but it is very demanding from a technical and competitive point of view,\u00a0 especially in the approach to a few of its holes and is undoubtedly entertaining even for the toughest golfers. It is certainly an experience worth trying. The Golf Club Gli Ulivi can be reached from Sanremo by passing\u00a0 the Sanctuary of Madonna della Costa and climbing the hinterland towards San Romolo, via Senatore Ernesto Marsaglia. The structure, besides a top quality restaurant from whose terrace one may taste the delicacies of the Ligurian cuisine whilst overlooking a breathtaking view,\u00a0 also\u00a0 boasts a pool of top notch instructors.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
