The Crete Golf Club

The Crete Golf Club is home to the first 18-hole golf course on the island of Crete, offering to golfers and visitors a challenging and enjoyable golf experience throughout the year.

The course has been built in an exciting desert style design. Each hole has been individually sculptured to blend into the existing landscape. Designed by Bob Hunt of PGA DC of Great Britain, this course offers dramatic views and truly tests every aspect of the golfer’s repertoire.

The architects have made every effort to protect the environment. Many ecologically friendly features, such as modern water treatment and large untouched areas, are to be found. This mountainous golf course, the most challenging in Greece, is meticulously maintained and compliments the typical landscape of Crete.

Continually breezy conditions allow play in the summer. As the mildest climate in the Mediterranean makes it suitable for play in all seasons, the course will be open all year round. The use of battery-operated buggies insures a continuous quick pace in the game.

You can enjoy life in the opulent clubhouse, where the friendly service team is ready and eager to cater to your every need. Après golf, you can relax on the 120 m2 terrace overlooking three ponds and the 18th green. The spacious restaurant offers the perfect venue for your banquet. The banquet manager is ready to offer his advice for occasions large or small.

The newly built boutique hotel opened in December 2017. It consists of 25 suites, 23 of 45sq.m. and 2 of 75sq.m. all with a sofa bed and large balconies all with a mountain and golf course view. Marble bathroom of 18sq.m., smart TV 55”, secure in-room ultra high speed WiFi, extra-long beds of 210cmx200cm. Common areas include a fitness center with “Technogym” equipment and an outdoor infinity pool of 25m length with salt water. The restaurant offers a combination of an à la carte and buffet breakfast.
