Discover the Greece You Don't Know,
A Paradise of Romance & Adventure
Where You'll be Playing
Opened in 2011 and designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the Bay Course at Navarino Bay is a par-71 seaside layout offering both playability and challenge for all skill levels.
Set just minutes from Navarino Dunes, the course features sweeping sea views, with several holes running along the historic Bay of Navarino. At 5,614 meters from the back tees, it’s shorter in length but rich in variety—winding through three distinct landscapes: Seaside, Canyon, and Grove.
Seaside holes showcase dramatic coastal scenery, including the standout par-4 4th along the bay. Canyon holes shift inland with elevated tees and strategic shot-making, while the Grove winds through ancient olive trees, some over 500 years old, with mountain backdrops.
The result is a visually stunning, strategically diverse round—and one of the most memorable golf experiences in Greece.
The Hills course is played with a par 72 across a total length of 6,251 meters starting from to the (white) the back tees. The most notable holes are the shortest of par threes, the 5th hole, which measures 132 metres and the most difficult hole in the front nine, the par six 6th. In the second nine hole, the par four 13th offers the most rewarding birdie chance on the golf course.
The International Olympic Academy Golf Course, is one of two 18-hole par-72 golf courses designed for Costa Navarino by the world-famous golfer and two-time Masters champion José María Olazábal. It is located at Navarino Hills, the 125-hectare golf haven named the “World’s Best New Golf Development” at the 2020 World Golf Awards and one of the most anticipated new projects worldwide in the golfing community.
In these rolling green hills, the 6366-meter International Olympic Academy Golf Course course overlooks the historic Navarino Bay and the Ionian Sea. Olazábal describes the spectacular sea view as “breathtaking” and almost impossible to keep your eyes off. Speaking this summer at a virtual event announcing the project, he said: “It is a great honor to have designed the first International Olympic Academy Golf Course at Navarino Hills. The development of the game is very close to my heart, and I am proud that future generations of golfers will have the opportunity to be educated in the Olympic values at this wonderful new facility.
Opened in 2010 and designed by Masters Champion Bernhard Langer, The Dunes Course is Greece’s first signature golf course and a true championship layout.
Set along the coast at Costa Navarino, the par-71 course blends links-style elements near the sea with inland holes that wind through olive groves and along the Sellas River. Wide fairways, large undulating greens, and strategic bunkering create a layout that is both playable and rewarding.
With multiple tee options and a maximum length of 6,581 yards, The Dunes Course offers an engaging challenge for all levels—combining natural beauty, thoughtful design, and a distinctly Mediterranean golf experience.
