Golf in Cyprus

Cyprus is a compact, sun-soaked golf destination where the game is concentrated in the south-west, around Paphos. Here a small, carefully chosen collection of courses sits between the Mediterranean and a backdrop of hills, olive groves and pine, giving rounds an open, scenic character with the sea often in view. The island's appeal lies in its reliability: warm temperatures, clear light and a dry climate make golf possible through much of the year, and the short distances mean a visitor can play several different layouts from a single base without long transfers.

The Paphos region holds the island's golf, and its courses span an appealing range of styles, from the resort polish of Aphrodite Hills Golf, PGA National to the elevated, vineyard-clad setting of Minthis Golf Club Tsada and the valley landscapes of The Secret Valley Golf Course and Elea Golf Course. The best playing season runs through the milder months, with spring and autumn ideal and winter pleasantly playable, while high summer is hot and rewards early starts. For a travelling golfer, Cyprus makes an easy, relaxed choice: a manageable cluster of quality courses, dependable weather, good resort facilities and the chance to combine golf with the beaches, history and food of a warm Mediterranean island.
