The Corfu Clubs beautiful course has been praised by many as one of golfs best kept secrets in Europe.
It was designed by the famous Swiss based architect, Donald Harradine and he has blended the natural resources of the lovely Ropa Valley including the river of Nafsika (Odyseus was rescued by Princess Nafsika at its exit on Ermones beach), with man made hazards to make the course a good but fair test. It is as enjoyable for the scratch player as it is for the long handicap one.
The treelined fairways and the sandtraps combine with the several lakes and meandering streams, to make an attractive picture against a backcloth of high hills. A magical place full of animals and birds (kingfishers, herons, otters, fish). The course has been recently renovated, with major work carried out on the bunkers and an upgrade to the irrigation system, therefore keeping the course in perfect condition at all times.
From March to November and sometimes beyond, there is warm sunshine and blue skies in Corfu but even in high summer on the golf course there is almost always a cooling breeze blowing in from the sea. Golf is also played throughout the winter in Corfu, so anytime is golf time! There are three sets of tees thus providing enjoyment for all categories of players.
The turf is very good and easy to walk on and every hole on the course provides infinite variety - and it's own problems. Corfu is a great golf course and it's fame is spreading rapidly as golfers come from all over the world to test their skill at golf and to enjoy an island which offers spectacular scenery, fine hotels, good food and a warm welcome.
The course is open 7 days a week
Over the last 3 years the golf course and clubhouse has undergone a complete renovation. The bunkers have been reshaped, deepened, drained and filled with white sand, shipped in from the Greek island of Milos. Specialist contractors were brought in to install a new TORO irrigation system, which paid immediate dividends keeping the golf course in excellent condition through the hot summer months.
The purchase of a comprehensive selection of TORO golf course machinery and the recent employment of a fully qualified head greenkeeper (previously responsible for the set up and maintenance of several top European golf courses) will ensure the continued improvement of the course
