Golf in Cyprus
Paphos now boasts 3 golf courses, more than enough to keep you occupied on your holiday. The finest example being the new Aphrodite Hills course, which was completed in late 2002. The climate, especially between October and March, makes for perfect playing conditions.
The Tsada Golf Club
The Tsada Golf Club is an elevated 18-hole grass course set on the hills of the Monastery of Stavro and you can actually see the monks walking their gardens – a very romantic setting for your game! This par 72 course of 6060 meters in length with many of the fairways on the hillsides make this course all the more interesting. The wooden-built clubhouse has a bar and restaurant with a terrace overlooking the course and lands beyond. The course is about half an hour from Aphrodite Hills. You can walk this course or take a buggy.
The Secret Valley Golf Club
Secret Valley is 18km east of Paphos, very close to Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock) and lies in many-coloured rock formations, softened by the planting of many trees and flowering shrubs along course. Only 5 minutes from Aphrodite Hills. This is a par 71 course of 5,904 meters in length and offers practice areas including chipping areas with bunkers and putting greens. The wooden-built clubhouse is similar to that of Tsada with a verandah overlooking the man-made lake and flowering gardens. You can walk this course or take a buggy.
Aphrodite Hills Golf Club
Picture yourself under blue skies, an undulating course dotted with olive and carob trees, manicured fairways and challenging pot bunkers overlooking the sea. Aphrodite sits atop 2 plateaus overlooking the Mediterranean coastline and the fabled birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite – Petra tou Romiou. If the Gods played golf, this would be their temple!
The course is a par 71, 6,665mt designed by Cabell B. Robinson. The complex includes an academy par 3 course; an excellent 350m double ended driving range off grass. 4 target greens with game practice area. It has two resident professional instructors. The spacious and well-appointed clubhouse and locker rooms, and the bar restaurant terraces have the most magnificent views over the coast to the sea.
