Luxurious Aphrodite Hills Resort
THE first leisure and golf development of its kind in Cyprus, the Aphrodite Hills Resort, is home to a magnificent 18-hole championship-standard golf course, which spreads over 6,299 metres. Overlooking the site where Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, is said to have emerged from the sea, the golf course also has a dedicated three-hole golfing academy and sumptuous clubhouse.
The third to be built in Cyprus, this award-winning golf course officially opened in 2002 and was designed by acclaimed architect, Cabell Robinson, who believes Aphrodite Hills to be the perfect mix of challenging pot bunkers, manicured fairways of lush Bermuda grass and generous tiered greens.  
Visually spectacular, the course expands through indigenous olive and carob trees and is built on two plateaux separated by a dramatic ravine with outstanding views over the Mediterranean. A 130-metre gorge dividing tees at the par-3 seventh hole presents the perfect opportunity to put your skills – and your bravery – to the test!
Each hole has five sets of tee markers. There are competition and regular tees for men with two sets for ladies. Back or pro tees stretch the total length of the course for single figure and professional golfers but there is a shorter more enjoyable course

for the average resort player. Beginners and experienced players of all abilities are encouraged to learn and improve their game at the Aphrodite Hills three-hole golfing academy, where a team of resident PGA qualified golf professionals, equipped with a full video swing analysis system, can provide the very best one-on-one tuition.  
With a large, double-ended driving range, a short game area with a large pitching and chipping green and the three-hole academy course, Aphrodite Hills provides the perfect environment for learning the game before progressing to the full course.
