Golf in Greece

Greece is not a traditionally golfing country, but the sport is definitely on the rise, and the country now features six excellent golf clubs. Of course, none of the members of the yourGreece Network of Great Small Hotels is large enough to operate its own golf course, but a few hotels are within easy driving distances from clubs where you can play. On Corfu, the Pelecas Country Club is situated about 6 km from the Corfu Golf Club at Ropa Valley. In the Old Town of Rhodes you can use the Marco Polo Mansion as a base for golfing holidays – at only about 15 km you can play at the Afandou Golf Course. In Crete, Villa Arhanes has a special cooperation with the Crete Golf Club at Hersonissos, situated at about 35 km from the hotel.
