GOLF
Aphrodite Hills features an 18-hole championship standard golf course, complete with clubhouse and academy. The course itself winds its way across the rugged Cyprus landscape and attracts golfers of all levels. Beginners enjoy the practice facilities and the guidance of professional instructors, while more confident players look forward to the challenge of the Mediterranean terrain and annual tournaments. And after the game, players can rarely resist a visit to the clubhouse to relax and analyze each hole with companions, as they sip cool drinks or sample local specialties.

HOLE 1
A tricky opening to the round. An 18th century kiln lies in the center of the fairway, so the best line for the drive is just down the right side. This is a large green, so make sure you have enough clubs on your approach to finish pin-high or you could have a tough opening putt.

HOLE 2
Use a long iron or fairway wood for position. There are no fairway bunkers but still favor the right side, as this leaves an easier approach, usually with a mid-iron, into a green that slopes left to right and back to front.

HOLE 3
A tough, uphill par-4 for most, but a cracker of a par-5 from the back tee over the canyon. From the drive the ball tends to feed in to the center. Long hitters can reach the green in two, but if you can’t, lay up just past the cross bunker to leave an open pitch into this long green.

HOLE 4
The perfect drive at this long but slightly downhill par-4 is at the bunker on the right edge of the fairway with a touch of draw. Be careful not to hit to far left, as the tree obscure your line into the green. The approach looks shorter than it actually is, so trust the distance.

HOLE 5
Aim to get the ball pin-high. If the flag is on the back horseshoe of the green it’s better to take one club more. When the pin is in the bowl at the front the ball will feed in from both sides, but beware, anything hit to the back of the green when the flag is forward leaves a treacherous putt or three.

HOLE 6
A birdie chance. Long hitters can let rip over the fairway bunker down the right, giving the possibility of reaching in two. For others it is safer to hit a fairway wood into the very tight landing between the bunkers. The landing area for the second shot is very wide; but the best line in with your third is from the left side.

HOLE 7
A spectacular par-3. Be very aware of the wind direction through the ravine, both the green and tee can be protected and fool you with club selection. Aim at the left half of the green; this leaves a bigger margin of error for a wayward tee shot. The green is big but watch out for the subtle breaks even on those short putts.

HOLE 8
Play with caution, as there’s out of bounds right and a lateral hazard left. This hole also has an ancient olive press in the center of the fairway, not visible from the back tees. Hit a long iron or fairway wood down towards the fairway bunker on the right as that side is more elevated and gives a better view of the very long green.

HOLE 9
The best line is down the left towards the fairway bunkers. There is a lot more room down that side than there first appears. This opens up the approach into a green that slopes towards you. Try and keep the ball below the hole on this receptive green or be faced with a treacherous downhill putt.

HOLE 10
For most it is out of reach in two shots. There is ample room off the tees; bit more emphasis must be placed on the second shot as the fairway narrows the closer you get to the green. Push for those extra few meters and the water left and bunker right come well into play.

HOLE 11
Aim over the right of the three cross-bunkers for safety, the tiger line is over the left bunker that requires a big carry. The approach is uphill into a long green; take one more club that the yardage suggests especially when the pin is in the back half of the green.

HOLE 12
The prevailing wind is nearly always helping. Select a club to pitch short of the hole, from the slightly elevated tees as the ball usually releases forward on this very long and well-bunkered green. Don’t go big as there is a sharp drop-off behind and right of the green.

HOLE 13
Avoid the ravine on the right and aim towards the bottom of the hills on the left. The ball will feed down to the center of the fairway and leave a short to mid-iron approach. The green slopes left to right, and keep the ball below the hole for an easier uphill putt.

HOLE 14
Avoid taking too much off the dogleg, as there is a lot of hidden trouble on the right side. Hit a long iron or fairway wood towards the right edge of the bunkers. For the approach all trouble is short of the green. Hit one or two clubs more into the prevailing wind; from the back of the green it is possible to save par.

HOLE 15
Playing into the prevailing wind from these elevated tees requires more club than you first think. Aim toward the right half of the green to be safe, anything too left can lead to a big trouble and a high score. At least from the right you can save par, but a 4 is still a good score on this long par-3.

HOLE 16
Possibly the most demanding par-4. The drive must be kept down the left half of the fairway. Once past the bunker on the left the green opens up for the approach. The long second shot will often roll down toward the front of the green. The green itself is fairly flat; reaching it is the difficulty!

HOLE 17
This medium length par-3 has a large front portion of green that will not pose any difficulty. When the pin is in the back right portion a high fade is required to hold the ball on the green. Opt for the heart of the green and face an awkward breaking putt over a small rise.

HOLE 18
Hit your tee shot toward the right side of the mounded fairway bunker. A big drive will run past the bunker and an extra roll down the hill could leave the temptation to go for it. Otherwise there is plenty of room to lay up into the sculptured areas left of the water. The further towards the green, the more water you will take out of play for your approach leading to a possible closing birdie.
