Riviera Golf is an 18-hole course in San Giovanni in Marignano, set within the countryside of Emilia-Romagna and close to the Adriatic resorts of Cattolica and Riccione. The course follows the natural landscape beside the River Conca, with views extending towards the Apennines, the Carpegna mountains and San Marino.

Originally opened in 2004, the course was later redesigned by Graham Cooke, building on work by Luigi Rota Caremoli. The current par-70 layout measures approximately 6,061 metres and combines long, American-inspired fairways with more technical holes, gentle elevation changes and sizeable water hazards.

The generous fairways make Riviera Golf approachable for a broad range of handicaps, but scoring well still depends on sensible positioning. Water features influence several holes, while bunkers, changing ground levels and carefully placed greens can punish golfers who simply attack with distance. Different teeing options help make the course enjoyable for beginners, experienced players, seniors and juniors.

Practice facilities include a driving range with covered stations and around 50 hitting positions, alongside a putting green and areas for pitching, chipping and bunker practice. There is also a nine-hole executive course, making the venue useful for tuition, warm-up sessions and golfers who prefer a shorter round. Club hire, buggy hire and a golf school are available.

The adjoining Riviera Golf Resort provides accommodation, dining, swimming and wellness facilities, while the beaches of the Adriatic coast are around ten minutes away by car. This makes Riviera Golf well suited to golfers who want to combine their rounds with Italian food, coastal towns and time by the sea.
