FEATURED GOLF COURSES

Aphrodite Hills Golf

Warm summers and mild winters make Cyprus an ideal location for golfers at any time of year.  The mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love, the island features the luxury, new Aphrodite Hills resort, near Paphos, with its magnificent 18-hole championship standard golf course of 6,269 metres, first dedicated golfing academy in Cyprus and comfortable clubhouse.

To play golf at Aphrodite Hills is to indulge your passion for the game.  The golf course was designed by acclaimed course architect, Cabell Robinson.  He is said to have created the perfect mix of challenging pot bunkers, manicured fairways of lush Bermuda grass and generous tiered greens.  

Visually spectacular, the course is dotted with indigenous olive trees and built on two plateaux separated by a dramatic ravine with outstanding views over the Mediterranean.  There is every opportunity to test your skills at the par three, seventh hole where a gorge divides the tees from the green with a carry of about 130 metres – not for those caught between clubs!

Each hole has five sets of tee markers. There are competition and regular tees for men with two sets for ladies. Back or pro tees stretch the total length of the course for single figure and professional golfers but there is a shorter more enjoyable course for the average resort player. 

Beginners and experienced players of all abilities are encouraged to learn and improve their game at the resort’s three- hole golfing academy.  Instruction is by resident PGA qualified golf professionals.  With a large, double-ended driving range, short game practice facilities and a three-hole academy course, Aphrodite Hills’ golf provides the perfect environment for learning golf before progressing to the full course.

Tsada Golf Club

The Tsada Golf Club, the first grass Cyprus golf course, was completed in April 1994. Located just 20 minutes from Paphos Town, on an elevated position 550 metres above sea level, ensures cool breezes during the summer months. Historically, it has been part of the monastery of Stavros tis Minthis, which gives an air of timelessness and romance.

From the 7th tee often a monk may be seen in the garden of the monastery. The 18 hole course, designed by Donald Steel, in two loops of nine, reveal the subtle hand of a man who always allows a course to blend into its natural surroundings. It plays to a par 71 and measures 5794 metres, a fine test for players of all abilities. The fairways most of which have uphill, downhill or side hill slopes are lined with fruit trees and grape vines. Undulating greens are not always easy to reach but do have perfect putting surfaces. The 14th is a par 3 and the most challenging short hole, played from an elevated tee across a ravine to a green cleverly set on the side of the hill. The 17th (par 5) is 533 metres and has a winding fairway crossing three unforgiving streams.

The clubhouse facilities include a restaurant, bar, ladies and gents changing rooms with showers, tennis court, a driving range, putting green, pitching and chipping area. The Pro-shop offers clients an array of golfing accessories, a boutique, electrically powered Golf Carts and trolleys. A P.G.A. professional offers tuition and guidance.

Secret Valley Golf Club

The Secret valley Golf Club, designed by Iacovos Iacovou, who also constructed the Tsada Golf Club, started operation in September 1996. This beautiful Cyprus golf course is located 18 km east of Paphos and 49 km from Limassol, near “Petra tou Romiou” the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. It lies in a scenic valley with grand trees adding maturity to the fairly new course. The sty kingly colorful natural rock formations offer panoramic views to the golfer. It plays to a par 71 and measures 5989 metres. Secret Valley promises players both the beauty of nature and the pleasure of golf. “ The views of the surroundings combined with the design efforts will create a truly unique and memorable golfing experience “ , says Mr Stelios Patsalides General Manager, who also manages the Tsada Golf Club under the umbrella of Cyprus Golf Resorts.

The front nine offer four nice holes for warming up, two birdie opportunities and an easy dog leg (if you know how!). The first and third holes - par 4’s 375 and 335 metres respectively - feature sand traps halfway between the tee and the green. A good drive or a really bad one will keep a player out of trouble. The second hole is a straight, comfortable par three. Number 4 at 120 metres has birdie written all over it, with a tricky bunker at the front edge of the green which requires accuracy. The back nine, plays longer than the first nine and the challenge starts immediately - no warm-up holes on this side. A long par 5 475 metres with sand traps in the middle make the tenth hole demanding. Hole 13 is a big hitter’s nightmare - a short 145metres with water in the back (winter only). Overshoot the green and you are out of bounds: Underplay it from the tee and bear the embarrassment of not making the green in one. The eighteenth par 5 515 metres finishes at the clubhouse with what appears a selection of artificial lakes on the back side of the green.

Practice facilities include putting greens, chipping areas, fairway bunkers and a large driving range. Tuition can be tailored to suit individual requirements and teaching can be on an individual or group basis.

The clubhouse at Secret Valley as the one at Tsada, has a wooden interior and facilities including a fully stocked Pro-shop, locker rooms, bar and restaurant with verandas overlooking the artificial lakes and the golf course. Down town in Paphos, visitors can explore the city day or night with safety. A myriad of restaurants and bars will keep even the most ardent night owl occupied.
