Tirrenia sits on the Tuscan coast just south of Pisa, where the Tyrrhenian Sea meets a broad, flat stretch of maritime pine forest that has shaped this corner of Italy for centuries. The pines here — tall, umbrella-shaped parasol pines — are as much a part of the landscape as the sea itself, filtering the light and framing the sky in a way that makes golf in this part of Tuscany feel distinctly Mediterranean rather than pastoral. The area has long attracted Italians seeking a quieter alternative to the better-known Tuscan hill towns, and the local golf scene reflects that same unpretentious, unhurried character.
