Four Courses of Ultimate Golfing Pleasure
What makes Costa Navarino so special? Well, it boasts four fabulous 18-hole golf courses that players can enjoy:
- The Dunes Course
- The Bay Course
- The International Olympic Academy Golf Course
- The Hills Course
Each course presents its own unique challenges, designed by renowned architects, ensuring you won’t get bored hitting the links here. As an added bonus, resorts with multiple golf courses receive extra points in the rankings, making Costa Navarino a standout choice. If scores are tied, the golf course ratings come into play as a tiebreaker.
Pushing Greece into the Golf Game
This recognition puts Costa Navarino and Greece on the global golf map, highlighting the potential of the country’s golf tourism industry. A recent study suggests that expanding Greece’s golf sector could generate a whopping €880 million (roughly $959.65 million) annually in both direct and indirect revenues. Currently, Greece may boast stunning natural beauty and a fantastic climate, but it has only scratched the surface in establishing golf courses—counting only ten compared to Portugal’s 113!
While Portugal’s golf sector rakes in around €1 billion ($1.09 billion) each year, Greece currently earns only about €111.4 million ($121.48 million). And with approximately 62.3 million players worldwide and around 38,000 golf courses, the growth potential for Greece’s golf tourism is staggering!
A Mix of Luxury and Leisure
Not only does Costa Navarino offer breathtaking golf courses, but it combines luxury accommodations with top-notch golfing amenities to appeal to both avid golfers and vacationers. Guests can choose from several exquisite hotels, including The Westin, The Romanos, Luxury Collection Resort, W Costa Navarino, and Mandarin Oriental, each promising a unique luxury experience. Additionally, the resort features family-friendly activities, wellness retreats, and culinary adventures steeped in traditional Greek culture.
Events Coming Up on the Fairway
Golf fans can look forward to the exciting Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy happening from June 9-14, 2025. This thrilling event will provide an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of golfing’s biggest legends! As if that wasn’t enough, Costa Navarino was also crowned World’s Best Golf Venue at the 2024 World Golf Awards, further solidifying its reputation on the global stage.
Getting to the Greens Has Never Been Easier
Traveling to this golf paradise is now more convenient than ever! New flight routes from the UK make it easier for international visitors to indulge in a golfing retreat without the hassle. And with the rich historical backdrop of the region adding layers of intrigue, Costa Navarino is swiftly becoming a top choice for golf tourism.
