An undiscovered gem with the perfect golfing climate

With year-round sunshine and a stunning landscape, Northern Cyprus is ideally suited to a resort-based golfing holiday. The main attraction for golf in North Cyprus is the Korineum Beach & Golf Resort, offering stunning views of both the mountains and the ocean. A golf holiday in North Cyrpus will not disappoint.

What makes a golf holiday in North Cyprus so special?

The first 18-hole golf course in Northern Cyprus, Korineum Golf & Beach Resort is set amongst 65 hectares of natural olive and carob trees. This course first opened in 2007 and stretches out to over 6,800 yards from the back tees making this a tough test of golf for all who play here. Fear not though, any worrisome scoring will be quickly forgotten as the lasting memory of Korineum is the mountain and sea views available on every hole.

Whilst the golfing options in Northern Cyprus is not vast in number, it is blessed with quality, with the paspalum-grassed golf course often praised for its conditioning throughout the year. With the hotel, bars and restaurants here all just a short walk from the course, Korineum is the perfect golfing resort and a true hidden gem in every sense of the word.
