In the heart of Italy’s celebrated Food Valley, just a short 10-minute drive from Parma, La Rocca course at Golf del Ducato is a captivating 18-hole parkland layout that winds through centuries-old oak and acacia woods, glistening lakes, and the gentle curves of the Emilian hills. Founded in 1985 on the edge of the Boschi di Carrega Nature Reserve—once the private hunting grounds of nobility—this course invites you to experience a round of golf in a setting where nature, history, and culture intertwine.
The course is both technically rewarding and visually stunning. Lush fairways bordered by forested slopes and tranquil water features create an immersive landscape for players of every level. Each hole offers a new view: from sweeping green valleys to tree-lined corridors and serene reflections on the lakes. It’s a place to slow down and savor the game—surrounded by beauty, silence, and a touch of aristocratic charm.
At the heart of the club is the welcoming Clubhouse, home to a refined restaurant that proudly serves regional specialties, including the area’s two culinary icons: Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma. Here, golfers can enjoy a post-round meal with the flavors of Emilia-Romagna while overlooking the course from a climate-controlled terrace. The experience is a true celebration of Italian lifestyle, where sport and tradition merge into an unforgettable day.
La Rocca offers a complete golfing experience, so if you’re looking for an elegant golfing retreat, a gourmet escape, or a cultural journey through the lands of the Farnese and Bourbon dynasties, Golf del Ducato will be a unique blend of pleasures in one of Italy’s most refined regions.
