Golf:
Welcome to the CRETE GOLF CLUB
The Crete Golf club is a marvellous new addition to Europe's rich reservoir of courses and will soon be regarded as one of the finest tests in the whole of the southern Mediterranean.
The new Bob Hunt masterpiece, is best described as a desert golf course hewn out of rolling landscape little more than half an hour from the international airport of Heraklion. It boasts a series of memorable holes that will test every aspect of a golfer's repertoire and offers stunning views over mountainous landscape that has hardly changed since the Minoan era back in 2600 to 1100 BC.
The views on the back nine are incomparable and so is the service offered to visitors. Staff can supply a fine selection of quality hire clubs. They will go out of their way to fix up games for single golfers and can even arrange transportation as and when required. The standard of service at Crete Golf Club is exemplary and adds a great deal to what is already a special experience.
The Crete Golf Club cooperates with more than 60 Partner Hotels which provide high quality accommodation and services. Guests of our Partner Hotels enjoy special discounts on green fees.
