Golf in Cyprus

 

Aphrodite Hills Golf offers a superb 18-hole golf course, excellent open air practice facilities and a well-stocked clubhouse.

 

This fantastic championship golf course complements the rest of the resort, providing quality from start to finish. The course itself is a great challenge that takes you to every corner of the resort. Manicured fairways wind blissfully along cliff edges, casting stunning views in every direction over the Mediterranean Sea. The signature 7th hole is a menacing par 3 situated at the bottom of a ravine; a hole to remember! The greens are always in great condition and a buggy is mandatory with all rounds.

Description of Aphrodite Hills :
The Aphrodite Hills Golf Club is located near Paphos in Cyprus, overlooking the Mediterranean, taking its name from the birthplace of Aphrodite, which it overlooks. Aphrodite Hills has been described as an award winning 18 hole championship golf course and academy.

Designed by Cabell B. Robinson, this Cyprus golf course was officially opened in 2002 and is considered to be one of the best in Cyprus. Surrounded by a protected forest, the fairways cut a swathe through lakes, olive and carob trees and the golf course comprises two plateaux separated by a dramatic ravine which offers golfers an original and breathtakingly stunning backdrop.

The Aphrodite Hills golf resort itself spans a massive 234 hectares (578 acres) with the golf course weaving in and around the development. The golf course is 6,299m long and plays at a par 71/70.

The golf resort includes facilities such as a luxury hotel, spa, championship tournament golf course, double-ended 350m practice range, PGA qualified instructors, golfing academy, 3-hole academy course for beginners, luxurious clubhouse with restaurant and bar, and a pro shop offering the latest in golf apparel.

The Aphrodite Hills golf academy features first class practice facilities, including a challenging 3-hole course consisting of two par 4s and a par 3. The academy caters for all ages and abilities under the expert tuition of PGA qualified professionals such as Andrew Darker and Giles Johnson.
