Crete Golf

Greece is home to some excellent golf courses, but according to all the experts, they are best played during Autumn and Spring, avoiding the Summer months, it provides a good variety of courses for golfers of all styles and levels. You will not need a special licence to golf in Greece. There are limited courses at this time and most are very modern as until the mid 1990 golf was not popular in Greece, now it is booming with courses being built all over the country. Crete is easily accessible by both air links and rail links from throughout Europe.

Elounda Golf Club was for many years the only golf course on Crete, this 9 hole course is beautifully situated with a view of the Libyan Sea along the south coast of Crete. Many golfers today feel limited by the short hole lengths, the longest is just 140 yards.

In August 2008, a huge new golf course and resort complex are due to open on the island, it will have 36 holes, the first 18 are championship level with the second 18 an easier option for the less experienced golfer. The club is set on 158 acres of former farming land and with breathtaking ocean views it will be a trademark Greek course, hilly with plenty of rocky outcrops, undulating terrain and heavy roughs, but very little water in play.
