Golf Resorts in Greece

Costa Navarino is steadily raising its profile as a prime, sustainable destination in the Mediterranean by additionally offering a world-class golf experience on the four signature golf courses in Greece. Its credentials are impressive: four 18-hole signature golf courses in idyllic settings next to a range of mixed-used resorts, high-end private residences, wellness centers, and state-of-the-art tennis courts, along with a wide choice of gastronomy venues and a variety of year-round sports, outdoor and cultural activities, plus great weather all year round.

Each golf course bears the signature of a different world-renowned designer and offers a unique combination of challenges and rewards for golfers of all levels. A series of international tournaments are hosted each year, including Aegean Messinia Pro-Am attracting professionals, amateurs and golf lovers while also creating a vibrant intercultural golf hub.

Sea and river views

Designed by two-time US Masters Champion Bernhard Langer in association with European Golf Design, The Dunes Course is Greece’s first signature golf course. Set in diverse natural scenery with spectacular sea and river views, it takes its name from the tall dunes that separate several holes from a golden beach.

Contrasting landscapes

The Bay Course, designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr., offers panoramic sea and mountain views, with two holes playing along the historic Bay of Navarino. The course meanders through three contrasting natural landscapes that make for a dramatic and memorable round.

Challenging games

The International Olympic Academy Golf course and The Hills Course designed by the two-time Masters champion and Ryder Cup legend José Marίa Olazábal, set above the coastline and offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the Bay of Navarino and the Ionian Sea.
