GOLF IN CYPRUS
Why choose
Eléa Golf Club?
The Golf Course
Sir Nick Faldo, the course designer,
opened Eléa Golf Club on 18th October
2010 - the course is known as his
‘Mediterranean Masterpiece’.
The golf course at Eléa has been created
to challenge golfers of every level. The
par 71, 18-hole course, designed by Sir
Nick Faldo, incorporates natural features
to evoke a truly Mediterranean feel. Eléa
Golf Club with its beautiful greens,
manicured fairways and strategic
bunkers is set to be not only the best
golf course in Cyprus, but is already
winning accolades as one of the leading
golf destinations in Europe and beyond.
The course was subsequently ranked
as one of the ‘Top 10 New International
Golf Courses of 2010’ by one of the
world’s biggest selling golf journals Golf
Magazine in the USA.
In November 2018, Elea Estate Golf
Course was officially voted 'Cyprus' Best
Golf Course 2018' by World Golf Awards.
Hole 9 - The 9th hole at Eléa provides
the classic risk and reward hole! A good
tee shot leaves you the option to play
more aggressive with your second shot
and have a chance for a birdie or par. A
tee shot out of position however will
require a testing lay up between a wellplaced bunker and the water hazard.
Many cards have been broken on this
inviting par 5.
Faldo commented on Eléa Golf Club
‘When we designed the golf course
we decided to put the emphasis on
thoughtful, rather than big-hitting, golf
and there are plenty of strategic riddles for
the golfer to explore and unravel over all
18 holes’.
Tranquility
The clubhouse offers stunning views
of the Mediterranean, a welcoming
atmosphere and fine dining food. It is
the perfect way to relax and enjoy your
day in Cyprus.

be one of your holiday highlights. Turn
