Our take

The par three over the ravine gets all the photographs, but it is the two plateaux and 190 metres of climbing that shape a round at PGA National Cyprus.

The walk. Hilly — we would take a buggy. 190 metres of climb over eighteen holes.

The wind. The wind is usually westerly, averaging 12 km/h, gusting to 35. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 11 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. Cabell Robinson.

The holes that will cost you. The 10th, the 18th and the 6th. The 6th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.

Aphrodite Hills Golf, PGA National Cyprus: your questions answered

Is Aphrodite Hills golf course worth playing?

Yes, particularly if you want relaxed holiday golf with enough about it to hold your interest. Cabell Robinson's par 71 parkland layout sits on two plateaux near Paphos, and the wide fairways and large greens keep the game enjoyable for mixed-ability groups. It is not a pushover, though: the bunkers and arid rough are quick to punish a careless shot.

How difficult is PGA National Cyprus?

It is one of the friendlier resort courses to score on. Wide fairways give you room off the tee and the large greens offer a fair target, so higher handicappers will not feel beaten up. The defence comes from the bunkering and the arid rough, and the par three played over a ravine asks for a committed swing at least once in the round.

Can you walk to the course from the Aphrodite Hills hotel?

Yes. PGA National Cyprus is a short walk from the Aphrodite Hills hotel and holiday residences, so you can stay and play on the same site without needing a car or transfer on golf days. That makes it a straightforward base for a Paphos golf break, and one reason groups who want everything in one place tend to shortlist it.

How much does a golf holiday at Aphrodite Hills cost?

There is no set package price published for this venue, so we quote each trip individually. Green fees are built into Golf Planet Holidays packages and priced per person, with the final figure depending on your dates, length of stay and number of rounds.

Can I book Aphrodite Hills through Golf Planet Holidays?

Who designed the golf course at Aphrodite Hills?

Cabell Robinson designed PGA National Cyprus, the 18-hole, par 71 parkland course at Aphrodite Hills. He laid it out across two plateaux near Paphos, and the routing produces several memorable holes, including a par three played over a ravine and the par five 18th, which finishes on an island green.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in Cyprus. The questions our golfers ask most.

Where should I play golf in Cyprus?

PGA Cyprus at Aphrodite Hills is a must and the surrounding golf courses are maturing nicely and are well worth a day out.

Is it easy to get around in Cyprus?

Getting around Cyprus is straightforward, though a hire car is recommended if you want to explore beyond your resort. Most golf holidays are based in Paphos where the main courses — Aphrodite Hills and PGA National Cyprus — are both within 20 minutes. We include private transfers from the airport to your hotel and can arrange inter-course transfers as part of your package. Roads are well maintained, driving is on the left (same as the UK) and signage is in both Greek and English.

Is Cyprus good for families?

Cyprus is an excellent destination for family golf holidays. The island's reliable sunshine, calm clear Mediterranean waters and excellent resort facilities cater well to mixed groups. Aphrodite Hills Resort has a water park, tennis, spa and restaurants, meaning non-golfers and children are genuinely well catered for. The island is safe, English is widely spoken, and the relatively short flight from the UK (4.5 hours) makes it manageable with younger children. Many families extend their stay with beach time in the Paphos or Ayia Napa areas.

Can I cross between North and South Cyprus?

Yes, it is possible to cross between the Republic of Cyprus and Northern Cyprus at designated checkpoints. For golf holidays however, this is rarely relevant — all the main courses including Aphrodite Hills, PGA National Cyprus and Secret Valley are located in the south near Paphos, so you won't need to cross. Cyprus is a compact island and the golf region around Paphos is easily accessible from both Paphos Airport (15 minutes) and Larnaca Airport (90 minutes). We recommend focusing your stay in the Paphos area.

Are flights included?

Our golf holidays are arranged ground-only — hotel, golf and transfers. You can add flights through us, and those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking.

How do golf holidays with Golf Planet Holidays work?

Every trip is hand-built. Tell us your group, dates and the destinations you fancy, and we build a personal itinerary — hotel, golf and transfers — around them. There are no fixed packages to squeeze into; we shape the whole break to suit how your group likes to play.
