Elea's course 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.

The course has been created to be sympathetic to its stunning setting, while still embodying the traditions of the game as one of the top golf courses in Cyprus.

Skill, strategy, precision – and maybe a little luck – are needed if you’re to be victorious here. But, win or lose, playing at Elea Golf Club promises to be a memorable experience.

Created by a legend, cared for by a dedicated team and already attracting international interest, Elea Golf Club is set to be not only one of the best golf courses in Cyprus, but is already winning accolades as one of the leading golf destinations in Europe and beyond.

The course enjoys a historical location, situated in the grounds of a twelfth century monastery, from which the resort took its name. Its tranquil setting and mesmerising mountain views provide the perfect backdrop for a challenging game with its fairways swathing through mature trees and water features.

At an altitude of 550m above sea level it’s a course for all seasons, enjoying cool breezes even during the summer. Originally designed by Donald Steel in 1994, Minthis Hills is the oldest golf course in Cyprus, and has recently undergone extensive enhancement by Mackenzie & Ebert. Mackenzie & Ebert are fervent believers that golf courses should fit into the landscape and be in keeping with their setting.

Widely known and praised for their work on four out of the nine British Open Championship venues, Tom Mackenzie and Martin Ebert have also created 60 new projects in 16 countries during their architectural careers over the past 20 years.

Nestled in a scenic valley by Petra tou Romiou, the place where legend says Aphrodite the Goddess of love was born, Secret Valley Golf Course is often elected between the courses on offer in Cyprus, for its stunning setting, and friendly, relaxed atmosphere, as well as sheer playability.

The course is carefully laid out in the natural landscape within the mature vegetation in the lower part of the valley giving it right away a distinct setting within Cyprus. It utilises the steep hillside terrain for spectacular tee locations and long views towards valley and ocean.

The course architects Hans-Georg Erhardt and Snorri Vilhjalmsson of Golf & Land Design with Tony Jacklin, four times Ryder Cup Captain and Winner of the British Open and US open, providing his signature for the New Secret Valley Golf Course lends even further proof of its exclusivity.

And to add more golfing excitement, a floodlight 3-hole loop for evening play will be conveniently located at the lowest end of the golf courses where the beach development links with the golf course.

With one of the island's most challenging 18 hole golf courses and a breathtaking clubhouse, you needn't go anywhere else - Venus Rock will have everything at hand for a lifestyle yet to be experienced on the island.
