San Domenico is a classic links course, characterised by the typical Mediterranean vegetation. Next to the low bushes of thyme, rosemary, sage and mint, sprout the ancient and uniquely beautiful olive trees, becoming the field’s emblem.
The course’s backdrop is the sea, visible from all angles, while the scenery’s main player is the wind, blowing almost constantly all year long.
And for golfers who are interested in adding some cultural fair, let us remind you that the course is flanked by the ancient city of Egnathia, originally a Messapian center which was subsequently taken over by the Romans.
From hole 8 one can actually admire part of the necropolis, a site where ruins dating from the 5th C B.C. to the 3rd C A.D. were discovered. You can indeed witness the industry and culture of ancient times, ranging from the 7th C B.C. to the 8th C A.D., from a distance of only 200 meters! |
