Cyprus Golf Courses

Aphrodite Hills

Aphrodite Hills Golf occupies two plateaux overlooking the Meditteranean and divided by a dramatic ravine about 17 km east of Paphos. Carved out of a forest of carob and olive trees, most holes have a view to the sea. The natural topography is gentle, but there is enough movement to give each hole a distinct personality. The course opened in October 2002 and was designed by Cabell Robinson. It features pot bunkers which primarily affect the long hitter, generous fairways of lush Bermuda grass and large tiered greens of American creeping Bent grass. The greens are large making a generous target for approach shots. However, most of the greens are undulating. The rough is not irrigated. The par 3 7th hole has a gorge which separates the tees from the green with a carry of about 130 metres.

Elea Golf Club

A stunningly located championship standard golf course, sympathetically routed through natural limestone outcrops and mediterranean gariggue flora

Faldo Design has created an 18-hole layout that commands a striking location above the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. It has been meticulously crafted through rolling countryside, and features imposing weathered outcrops of limestone and mature carob and olive trees that offer a unique character across the course.

Faldo’s thoughts:

“I would like to thank the entire team here at Eléa and, of course, in particular Zenon Eliades, whose relentless dedication and vision has made this stunning project possible. “All of us at Faldo Design are proud of our own achievement here. We have created a course that offers not only strategic golf in a beautiful setting, but is also very sympathetic to its environment with minimal water-usage and a concentration on native plant species. This is a golf course that sits comfortably and in harmony with its landscape. “I’m certain that this course will become a real talking point in the Mediterranean – and the Eléa Estate certainly has the potential to help develop the perception of Cyprus as a special golfing destination.”
