Course History and Description

The Porto Elounda is the latest five-star creation of architect Spyros Kokotos, designer of all the well-known luxury resorts in Elounda. Porto Elounda is also the sole Greek resort that includes an Executive nine-hole Golf Course and a Golf Academy.

For golfers, the Resort offers a nine-hole par-3 golf course. Creatively designed with multiple tees, guests may choose to play the course as an 18-hole round, as each hole has two playing options of varying difficulty. With numerous trees and pot bunkers, each hole has its own individual character, with the distance between tees and greens ranging from 58m to 187m. Holes #3 through #6 are situated on the top of the course high on a hill providing spectacular views.

Additionally, the complex has practice nets, a practice bunker and a 9-hole putting green. The Club House is set amidst a picturesque Cretan Square and offers a Pro Shop and the Porto Elounda Golf Academy. The PGA instructor who runs the Golf Academy and is fluent in English, and organizes private lessons for golfers at all levels, paying attention to every aspect of your game on the driving range, the putting green and the Course itself. The Pro Shop sells or rents all necessary equipment.
