About The Area
Limassol is one of Cyprus’ strongest golf holiday bases, combining a lively Mediterranean city with beaches, marina life, wine villages and easy access to several of the island’s main courses. It works especially well for golfers who want more than a resort-only stay: you can play during the day, then head into the city for seafront restaurants, bars, old town streets and coastal walks.
The key local golf development is Limassol Greens, positioned on the western edge of the city. Its 18-hole championship course is designed by Cabell B. Robinson and is set across a natural Mediterranean landscape with feature ponds, olive and carob trees. The course measures around 6,300 metres and gives Limassol a proper city-golf anchor rather than relying only on courses closer to Paphos.
For wider golf variety, Limassol is also well placed for the Cyprus golf corridor between Limassol and Paphos. Aphrodite Hills Golf – PGA National Cyprus sits between Paphos and Limassol and offers an award-winning integrated resort with an 18-hole championship course, also designed by Cabell B. Robinson. Secret Valley Golf Resort is located near Aphrodite’s Rock, around 49km west of Limassol, giving golfers another strong option within a realistic transfer.
Golf in Limassol is best from autumn to spring, especially October to May, when temperatures are more comfortable for walking and sightseeing. Summer can be very hot, so early tee times are the sensible shout.
Off the course, Limassol has loads going for it. The city’s tourism board highlights the marina, old port, beaches, Molos promenade, city centre and nearby wine villages as key areas to explore. That gives golfers a good mix of relaxed seafront evenings, local food, beach time and cultural day trips.
For golfers seeking Cyprus sunshine, city energy, coastal dining and strong access to multiple courses, Limassol is one of the island’s most practical and appealing golf bases.
