Golf in Cyprus is still in its early stages. Yet with 3 championship courses already on offer since the introduction of golf to the island in 1994, there are signs that golf in Cyprus is to take off in a very big way. Little wonder really as the rolling hills and excellent climate make this Mediterranean haven an ideal golfing destination.

Golf courses in Cyprus adopt a very professional approach to the game, residents of the Island are required become part of the Cyprus Golf Federation handicap accreditation scheme and visitors to Cyprus will be expected to prove their handicap, and are advised to verify the requirements of the clubs they wish to play beforehand. For this reason Cyprus is not recommended as a golfing destination for the less experienced golfer, however more established players who enjoy a challenging game amidst beautiful scenery will find themselves in a golfers paradise.

The jewel in the crown of golf in Cyprus is the championship Aphrodite Hills golf club, a fantastic course which weaves its way through lakes, olive and carob trees in the rugged hills above Paphos.

Also highly recommended is the Secret Valley golf club, set in the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love the enjoyable course is set in a deep green valley surrounded by grand forests and intriguing rock formations.

The Donald Steel designed Tsada Golf Club was the first grass golf course to open in Cyprus in 1994. Set on the hills of Tsada on the outskirts of Paphos, the golf course is high up in the mountains ensuring the pleasurable cool sea breeze cools the temperature in the summer months.
