Hey golf fans, are you looking for the perfect mix of sun, sea and challenging greens? Then you should definitely add Cyprus to your itinerary!
Cyprus not only offers gorgeous beaches and delicious food, but also some of the best golf courses you can imagine. We visited this jewel of the Mediterranean in January and tested all the golf courses for you - it was simply fantastic!
Cyprus: more than just a golfing paradise
The culture is vibrant, the people are welcoming, the beaches are gorgeous and the food is delicious. Whether you want to relax on the beach, stroll through picturesque villages or explore historical sites - there's something for everyone here. And of course, a visit to a traditional taverna with delicious meze dishes and a glass of local wine is a must!
Golf courses you shouldn't miss:
Aphrodite Hills Golf Club:
A true masterpiece with hilly terrain and sea views. The 18-hole course offers exciting challenges for all levels of play. Hole 7, which leads over a ravine, is particularly impressive.
Minthis Golf Club:
Situated in an old monastery, this course offers a special, peaceful atmosphere and challenging playing conditions. The clubhouse is ideal for relaxing and enjoying the view.
Secret Valley Golf Club:
You have to discover this treasure! The Secret Valley Golf Club is located in a beautiful gorge and offers dramatic differences in altitude and narrow fairways. Precision is required here!
When is the best time for a golf vacation in Cyprus?
Cyprus offers sunny weather all year round, but the best time for golfing and beach days is between April and October. The temperatures are pleasant and the days are long. For those who like it a little cooler, the months of November to March are ideal. This is when the island is a little quieter, prices are lower and the landscapes glow in lush shades of green.
Tips: How to make your vacation perfect:
- Rent a car: Renting a car is definitely a good idea to easily reach the various golf courses and explore the island.
- Local cuisine: Be sure to try the Cypriot cuisine! Kleftiko (braised lamb) and meze (various small dishes) are a must.
- Cultural highlights: In between rounds of golf, you should visit some of the island's cultural treasures, such as ancient Kourion or the castle of Kolossi.
- Golf lessons: If you want to improve your game, almost all the major golf courses offer first-class lessons with professional coaches
