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.

Plenty of golfing challenge and usually good upkeep contribute to the appeal of this well-crafted and pleasantly testing design.

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: 3rd best course in Cyprus (Golf Digest, 2022).
