Secret Valley Golf Club: nestling down in its "secret" valley between two lines of hills, this out-and-back layout offers one of Cyprus's best-rated championship courses. Surrounded by mature trees and natural rock formations, the course provides a pleasant and scenic golfing challenge.
This tree-lined and open parkland layout, crafted with input from former Ryder Cup captain Tony Jacklin, contains many attractive natural features. Several elevated tees require tee shots that play down to the valley floor. Plenty of golfing challenge and usually good upkeep contribute to the appeal of this well-crafted and pleasantly testing design.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

The Secret Valley course lies a few kilometres from "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 3rd best course (Golf Digest, 2022).
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
