Cyprus has quietly become one of the Mediterranean’s most exciting golfing destinations. From championship layouts carved into dramatic valleys to relaxed family-friendly parks on the coast, the island offers variety, quality, and sunshine almost year-round. Below is a curated guide to the standout venues across Limassol and Paphos.
Limassol Greens (Limassol) — Opening Late Summer 2025
Architect: Cabell B. RobinsonHoles/Length: 18 holes, ~6,300 m (championship standards)
Limassol Greens is set to open in late summer 2025 and is already being talked about as a new flagship for Cyprus golf. Robinson’s routing blends seamlessly into the Mediterranean landscape, framed by olive and carob trees and enhanced by natural wetlands. Beyond the scenery, the course is future-facing: integrated TrackMan technology, a modern practice range, and data-driven training options promise a highly interactive experience. Expect strong tournament credentials, family-friendly programming, and corporate event capability from day one.
Secret Valley Golf Resort (Paphos)
Design: Hans-Georg Erhardt & Snorri Vilhjalmsson (Golf & Land Design) Signature input: Tony Jacklin Holes: 18
Secret Valley lives up to its name: a beautifully sculpted course set within a historic valley of native vegetation and striking rock formations. Six sets of tees, Bermuda fairways and Bentgrass greens offer both variety and challenge. Facilities include the Troon Golf Academy, a full-size covered range, practice greens, a floodlit 3-hole loop, and comprehensive coaching for all levels. The clubhouse adds a relaxed social hub with a restaurant overlooking the 18th green, conference space, and a well-stocked pro shop. Just 10 minutes from Paphos Airport, it’s a polished “fly-and-play” choice.
Aphrodite Hills Golf Resort (Paphos)
Architect: Cabell Robinson Holes/Length: 18 holes, 6,289 m
An award-winning championship venue spread across two plateaus with far-reaching sea views. Aphrodite Hills is famed for strategic pot bunkers, immaculately maintained Bermuda fairways, multi-tiered greens, and the dramatic gorge carry at the 7th—a true signature moment. Expect a modern clubhouse, GPS-equipped carts, a Golf Academy with pros, and a 3-hole practice course. Equally rewarding for ambitious visitors and seasoned members.
Minthis Golf Club (Paphos)
Original design: Donald Steel Renovation: Mackenzie & Ebert (2017–2020) Holes/Length: 18 holes, par 72, 5,902 m
Minthis offers elevated golf with Troodos Mountain views and a unique setting around a 12th-century monastery. The renovation introduced USGA-spec greens, 28 bunkers, a refreshed routing, and the island green at the signature 15th. At ~550 m above sea level, summer rounds benefit from cooler breezes. Minthis is also Cyprus’s first GEO-certified club for sustainability. A full academy, 3-hole practice course, range, and contemporary clubhouse complete the package.
Vikla Golf & Country Club (Limassol)
Holes: 18
A friendly, great-value club known for its relaxed atmosphere and sustainable approach. Vikla runs a semi-dry model: real-grass greens and aprons are maintained year-round while fairways are left unirrigated to conserve water, turning naturally golden in summer (players use mats from the fairway during the driest months). With practice facilities and a welcoming clubhouse, it’s a local favourite with memorable hillside views.
Mario’s Golf Park (Paphos)
Formats: 9-hole Par-3, FootGolf (9), Frisbee Golf (9), Mini golf, 27-bay driving range
A versatile, family-friendly venue on the Chlorakas coastal road. Open daily from 08:00 till dusk, the park mixes casual fun with credible practice: a floodlit range, multiple short-game areas, PGA instruction (Gabriel Toader), junior programmes, and rental gear. It’s a smart option for groups, beginners, or anyone wanting a relaxed session before tackling a championship course.
Eléa Golf Club (Paphos)
Designer: Sir Nick Faldo Holes/Par: 18 holes, par 71
Eléa is a strategic Faldo design that pairs elegant shaping with Mediterranean natural features and sweeping sea views. It’s crafted to test every level of golfer without losing its sense of enjoyment—precision, variety, and rhythm define the round. A dedicated maintenance team and thoughtful clubhouse experience make Eléa both memorable and repeatable.
Planning Your Golf Trip to Southern Cyprus
- Best time to play: October–May is peak for cooler, crisp conditions; summer offers long daylight and dry fairways, especially inland.
- Base yourself wisely: Limassol for luxury beach life and the new Limassol Greens; Paphos for multiple courses within a short drive.
- Book ahead: For resort courses, reserve tee times and buggies early in high season; check dress codes and pace-of-play guidance.
- Bring/borrow: Most venues offer high-quality rentals if you prefer to travel light.
From the upcoming Limassol Greens to modern classics like Aphrodite Hills and Eléa, Southern Cyprus is stacking up serious credentials as a year-round golf destination. Whether you’re chasing championship layouts, cool-air mountain vistas, or an easy family day out, you’ll find it here—sun, scenery, and a warm Cypriot welcome included.
