The Crete Golf Club boasts a strategic and charming location, near the vibrant resort town of Hersonissos, just 20 minutes from Heraklion International Airport. Set inland in mountainous, rugged terrain, the resort has strived to meticulously maintain the distinctive elements of the natural Cretan landscape.
The club boasts the only 18-hole golf course on the island, designed in 2003 by the golf course architect Bob Hunt. This mountainous course has been built in an exciting 5,700m, par 71 desert style layout with each hole individually sculptured to blend into the existing landscape. The course is challenging but fair and enjoyable with superb views of Lasithi Mountains and the Cretan countryside.
In addition to the course, the club has a golf academy with great facilities including a double-ended 300 meters driving range with short game area and two practice putting greens.
The on-site 5-star, boutique style hotel at The Crete Golf Club boasts 25 elegant suites, a restaurant, a pool and a gym.
Breakfast and refined all day dining with Cretan flair, are served in the relaxed and scenic clubhouse restaurant which features a large terrace with elegant seating and breath-taking views.
The course and hotel open throughout the year, providing a fantastic option for a stay and play golf break during the colder months.
