Exciting Times at Costa Navarino: A Golf Paradise
In the sunny shores of Messinia, Costa Navarino is making waves in the golf world like never before. The year 2024 has been remarkable for this Mediterranean gem, securing a string of prestigious accolades that puts it on the global golfing map. With five awards scooped at the World Golf Awards, it seems that Costa Navarino has officially arrived!
A Year for the Books
Let’s break it down, shall we? Costa Navarino didn’t just land any awards; they snagged the big ones! Touting the titles of ‘World’s Best Golf Venue’ and ‘World’s Best Clubhouse’ for The Bay Clubhouse, there’s a lot to brag about. Not to mention the ‘Europe’s Best Golf Hotel’ awarded to The Westin Resort Costa Navarino. Talk about a hot destination!
But wait, there’s more. The venue also reinforced its top-tier status by holding the inaugural Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy in June, marking the first major professional golf event in Greece in over two decades. And as the year closed, a whopping 50 teams from 21 countries made their way to Costa Navarino for the thrilling AEGEAN Messinia Pro-Am 2024. Both of these exciting tournaments are set to return in 2025—so don’t say we didn’t warn you!
GEO Certified and Eco-Friendly
What’s particularly impressive is that Costa Navarino isn’t just about luxury and accolades; it’s taking sustainable golf to new heights. All four of its signature golf courses—The Dunes Course, The Bay Course, The International Olympic Academy Golf Course, and The Hills Course—have achieved GEO Certified status. This makes them the first multiple-course destination in the Mediterranean to earn such a recognition.
This certification highlights their commitment not only to stunning golfing experiences but also to protecting nature, conserving resources, benefiting the local community, and taking solid action against climate change. That’s right; you can help save the planet while enjoying a round of golf!
