Even though Greece fulfils all the right criteria for Golf, it is only in the last

few years that it has been set on the golfing map as a golf destination.

Corfu is the most popular international tourist destination among the Ionian

Islands in Greece. UNESCO has included the old town of Corfu as a World

Heritage Monument, confirming it as one of the top sightseeing

attractions worldwide. Direct daily flights from all the major cities are

available throughout the tourist season, ferry connection from Italy and a

45min flight from Athens throughout the whole year.

As well as the idyllic scenery that you will experience in Corfu, you will also

be surrounded by the Venetian, French and British influences on the

architectural structure of the town, the monuments and nature of the island.

The mild winter temperatures create a heavenly environment to enjoy golf

in “one of the greatest courses in Europe”, as classified by the

Encyclopedia of Golf.

The Club was designed in 1969 by the famous golf architect Donald

Harradine, who blended the natural resources of the Ropa Valley with the

man made water hazards. The mature 18-hole course, enjoyable for all

categories of golfers, includes the river, where the myth tells us Odysseus

was rescued by Princess Nafsika at its exit on Ermones beach, which is

only 1 km away.

The excellent condition of the greens, the tree lined fairways and the

bunkers in combination with the 7 lakes create a unique golf course for the

professional or the amateur golf player, against a backcloth of hills and

mountains.

At the Club House, built of local stone, visitors can enjoy beverages and

traditional dishes by one of the best chefs on the island at the golf club’s

restaurant. The club’s pro shop gives the opportunity to rent golf clubs and

buy nice memorabilia. And our professional staff will make sure all visitors

enjoy their golfing holidays to the utmost.
