Cabell Robinson  Course Designer  said:  "Some golf courses take longer to materialize than others. Sometimes these delays turn out for the best. I first visited the site nearly 20 years ago and was immediately impressed with the inherent potential of this land to become one of Europe's great golf courses.

"Apart from the wonderful views out to sea from so many holes, the striking feature of the site is the deep canyon that separates two plateaus. The problem was how to incorporate this gorge into the course design, and how to cross it! A clever network of cart paths solved it, and in addition, the descent down to the 7th tee is an adventure in itself.

"We were fortunate in that the site was fairly well covered with carob and olive trees, and fine native grass out in the rough, that turns golden in late summer, completes a simple but elegant landscape palette which I found extremely pleasing to the eye. With a little additional planting, the holes were "Mediterranean mature" on completion.

"I have kept the fairways spaciously wide between the trees, the greens on the large size, and both men and women have two sets of tees to choose from to match your capabilities. Challenge it from the very tips however, and in a bit of a breeze, and that can be a whole different story.

"People often ask me what my favorite hole is. Just as often I try to dodge the issue diplomatically. Favorite golf holes are subjective choices just as the beauty of one woman attracts a man more than that of another. But I will offer some suggestions.

"If you can carry 200 meters with your driver, you should try the back tee on the 3rd. It looks forever over the gorge, but it is only that far to reach safety. It is a thrill of a lifetime shot if you succeed. The 7th deep within the bowels of the canyon is another dramatic shot, while fantastic sea views are to be had at the 8th and 15th. Personally I think reaching for the back pin position on the 12th needs the most courage, while the 16th is my pick for the toughest par-4, and the 18th is a reachable and wonderful par-5.

"Aphrodite Hills is the culmination of my 35 years designing courses, and I rate it among my very best work. But you the golfer, will be the final judge. Above all, take in the views, the landscape and the tranquility. Too often we forget that golf is but a game –and one to be enjoyed."

Aphrodite Hills Golf Course
 Par 71/70;  measuring 6299 metres;  handicaps 28m/36w.
The signature hole being no. 7 because you have to play across a dramatic ravine.
With the 18 hole course and an exclusive club house on two spectacular peaks, this fascinating golf course is situated in a harmonic limestone surrounding.  Under the blue skiy and at 300 m high from the Meditteranean Sea, amongst the fairways and green the game is enhanced even more by the spectacular views of the sea.  Golfers are astounded to play on one of the most breathtaking golf courses in the Meditteranean.

Secret Valley Golf Course
Par 71; measures 5989 metres; handicaps 28m/36w.
Located 18km east of Paphos and 49km from Limasol.  It is near "Petra Tou Romiou" the legendary birthplace of Aphodite, the Goddes of Love.  Set in a scenic valley with grand trees and beautiful natural rock foundations all around.

Tsada Golf Club
Par 71;  measures 5989 metres; handicap 28m/36w
Founded in 1994 on the holls of Tsada it is set in the grounds of a 12th century monastery and in a gentle valley.  At first glance the game seems to be not so difficult but the downgoing courts the tricky rough and the continuous wind requires a greater concentration.  Golfers need time to adjust to this.
