Aphrodite Hills, which also carries the title "PGA National Cyprus", is home to one of the best championship courses in Cyprus. Stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding hills, and dramatic elevation changes on the course, all play their part on this testing Cabell Robinson design.
Visually spectacular and built on two plateaux separated by a dramatic ravine, the course winds through indigenous olive and carob trees, with many spectacular views along the way. Villa-style housing flanks some holes, but not to detract from the memorable golfing experience the layout offers. Plenty of golfing challenge, stylish bunkering, huge greens, impressive elevation changes and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this well-crafted design.
Pick of the holes: among several dramatic holes, the par-3 7th with a deep ravine separating the tee box and a huge square green, will linger long in the memory. The hole can be set-up to play anywhere between 100 yards and 230 yards.

The Aphrodite Hills resort is uniquely located on two plateaux, divided by a dramatic ravine. Close by is "Petra tou Romiou" (Aphrodite's Rock), the exact spot where Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and passion, is said to have emerged from the sea. In Roman mythology, her counterpart is Venus. Most of the tales of Greek Aphrodite and Roman Venus are identical.
Cyprus's No.1 course (Golf Digest, 2022).

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
