Tom Weiskopf's
Tuscan Masterpiece
The golf course at Castiglion del Bosco is one of the finest private courses in Europe and the only Continental European design of the late Tom Weiskopf (1942-2022), 16-time PGA Tour winner, 1973 Open Champion and revered golf course architect.
"To me, a golf course is simply art on the ground. It's telling a story in a way."
Weiskopf’s Tuscan masterpiece is exquisitely blended into the soft curves and contours of the estate’s rolling hills and valleys, treading lightly in an environment where natural beauty requires little enhancement or embellishment.
Exquisitely conditioned and open all year round, Weiskopf designed a course with the Member in mind. It is inclusive and enjoyable for all standards of players, making every round with family and guests a memorable experience.
Luxury Clubhouse Comforts,
Tuscan Simplicity
“Our members have to experience the best, so it is important to give all the comforts and amenities that are necessary, but also to keep it real.”
Castiglion del Bosco founder Massimo Ferragamo, his wife Chiara, and interior designer Teresa Bürgisser Sancristoforo personally oversaw the acclaimed restoration of the historic stone Tuscan farm buildings that now comprise The Clubhouse.
On the terrace, Members and Guests can immerse themselves in the timeless, panoramic views, while enjoying The Club’s authentic Tuscan hospitality. Seasonal menus offer locally sourced specialities as well as pizza fresh from the wood-fired brick oven.

A World Class Wine Estate

While the entire Castiglion del Bosco estate extends to 2,000 hectares, the organic-certified vineyards occupy 62 of the finest hectares, planted solely with the Sangiovese red wine grape variety responsible for the estate’s prestigious Brunello di Montalcino wines. The vineyards and winery are managed by Castiglion del Bosco’s winemaker Cecilia Leoneschi (pictured).
While the estate is 800 years old, it benefits from a state-of-the-art winery and a 4,000-sq.mt cellar producing the estate’s three Brunello wines: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Campo del Drago Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Millecento Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG. The estate also produces an appealing Rosso di Montalcino DOC.
The winery, which hosts private events for Members as well as tours and tastings for Guests, was named as one of the top ten wineries to visit in Tuscany by international wine magazine Decanter.
