One of the most important European golf courses built in the last decade, The Elea Golf Club near Paphos, Cyprus, was designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo. This golf course along with Aphrodite Hills has helped to put Cyprus on the map as a premier golf destination, ideal for those wanting to spread their wings and find fairways elsewhere in Europe. 

The course is built using the lay of the land and there are many strategically placed bunkers and water hazards as well as tricky greens to test all golfers.

The magnificent par-71 golf course at Elea Golf Club commands a striking location above the shimmering Mediterranean Sea and has been meticulously crafted through dramatic landscape, featuring imposing weathered outcrops of limestone that offer a unique character across the course. Commenting on his vision for Elea Golf Club, the designer, Sir Nick Faldo, said: "This golf course certainly has the potential to play a pivotal role in establishing this part of the world as a leading European golf destination.

"When we designed the golf course at Elea Golf Club we decided to put the emphasis on thoughtful, rather than big-hitting, golf and there are plenty of strategic riddles for the golfer to explore and unravel over all 18 holes."

The fascinating layout circulates through stands of mature carob and olive trees, while the dramatic outcrops of weathered limestone strike a contrast with the deep green of the seaside paspalum grass fairways and semi-roughs. In a carefully planned ecological design, individual holes are fringed by undisturbed and un-irrigated swathes of colourful native ‘garrigue' flora. This stunning visual effect invokes a truly Mediterranean feel, while retaining the ethos of a traditional and dramatic experience for the golfer. In addition, the wildlife of partridges, birds of prey, butterflies and lizards thrive on the benefits of this carefully protected environment.

One other significant feature of Elea Golf Club is the large and sumptuous clubhouse that also boasts underground parking facilities.

Lightning greens made for a trick but enjoyable round. Very easy to 4 putt! Interesting course with some contrived holes but understandable due to the rocky terrain. Trolleys reasonable at 5 euros.

Very disappointing. Same comments on tee time as per Aphrodite Hills, but made worse by even slower play. Well over 3 hours to play the front nine meant little more than half of the course played. To make matters worse, no buggy had been booked by you and none was available on arrival. I am well into my eighties and it is only through the kindness of the Green staff who lent us a buggy that we were able to play.

This was a Nick Faldo course and had strategic bunker placement throughout, the staff and green keeping was upto par, greens were lightening fast and facilities were lovely. The views less spectacular than Aphrodites however strategic golfing needed to keep ball in play. It was due to rain during this round day. Unfortunately we couldn’t get through to anyone via email Oncall or our original booking agent (who was away a few days leading upto this round day) Would have been nice if someone from the golf travel responded to my email over the week even if after.( I had requested to move our 2nd round at Elea given weather but no joy 3 days prior to playing it) I called the course directly the day before and moved the round earlier in the day thanks to more winter Conditions over December. Word of advise winter in Cyprus is like sunny autumn day in the UK. Midlayer and jackets required despite the sun. Enjoy

Excellent clubhouse and reception and well organised. Fairways were in good order with difficult rough. There were too many bunkers and all the sand was compacted like playing off concrete. The greens were extremely fast and very difficult to read the slope. One of course staff declared if you 4 putt you are doing well.

Disappointed my playing partner didn't turn up, but after a few holes joined Alistair and Steve ( both members), Slow round to start off, a very slow 4 ball two buggy group ahead of me, I think an on course marshall would be good, just nudging people along or advising they are slow, Not sure a buggy is a must but definite electric trolley worth while . Fantastic social side in the 19th with club members.

Again, let down by YGT. Upon booking in Jan 2024, the stipulation was 10 travellers, made up of 1x 4ball and 2x 3balls with buggies to suit. We arrived at the course only to find that we had been given 5 buggies (for 2x 4balls and 1x 2ball) and to say that these buggies were a disgrace would be an understatement, with no GPS and looking like they were about to clap out !!! In the end, one of my guests had to walk !!!! Again, incredibly poor from YGT

Strong winds made the course challenging. There are a lot of bunkers, but they have little sand and full of stones, more like waste areas. But with some decent course management, you can avoid. A walkable course, but if you want a buggy, you will need to reserve. Buggies ok and cost €38. Impressive clubhouse and found staff there and Pro Shop to be friendly. It is expensive for what is on offer.

This was the worst of the three courses we played. The course wasn't in very good condition and the setting is not particularly scenic. One person described it as playing in a large field full of bunkers, which isn't too far off. The holes are pretty unmemorable, especially the par threes. The bar and clubhouse also had quite a run down feel.

There are loads of extremely large deep bunkers and if you are at the green end you have to walk from the shallow end to get to your ball which then has to be raked all the way back to get out again - very time consuming. We had 2 rounds booked but cancelled the second one.
