Golf in Paphos
Cyprus is the new jewel in the crown for golfers seeking golfing
breaks in the warmth of the eastern Mediterranean. It offers
golfers challenging world-class championship courses, top
quality hotels, safety, warm hospitality and almost year round
sunshine. There are currently three golf courses within a short
drive of Paphos.
Aphrodite Hills
This spectacular Resort Course designed by Cabell Robinson
really puts Cyprus on the golfing map. It is located on two
stunning plateaus with views of the Med. Its fantastic condition
provides for a great golfing experience. Must play course when
in Cyprus - on a par with top resort courses in Europe. 20km
from Kato Paphos.
Par: 71 Yardage: 6815 Maximum handicap: 28 Fees: £47-51 Website:

Secret Valley
The course lies in a scenic valley with grand trees adding to
the courses maturity and the beautiful scalped natural rock
formations offer panoramic views to the golfer. It is believed
that the course lies by "Petra tou Romiou" the legendary
birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love.
The front nine offers four holes for warming up, two birdie
opportunities and a dog leg. The back nine plays longer than the
first nine and the challenge starts immediately - no warm-up
holes on this side. 18km from Paphos.
Par: 72 Yardage: 6120 Maximum handicap: 28 Fees: £29-35 Website:

Tsada
Founded in 1994 on the hills of Tsada, the Tsada Golf Club is
set in the grounds of a 12th century monastery, in a gentle
valley. Situated on the outskirts of Paphos on an altitude of
550m above sea level, it ensures cool breezes during the summer
months. From the 7th tee a monk can often be seen in the garden
of the monastery. The course, designed by Donald Steel in two
loops of nine, reveals the subtle hand of a man who always
allows a course to blend into its natural surroundings. 10km
from Paphos.
