International Olympic Academy Course

at The Westin Resort Costa Navarino

Par 72 | 6960 yards | Opened: 2022 | Architect: José María Olazábal

The International Olympic Academy Golf Course is one of the newest and most prestigious additions to Costa Navarino's world-class golf offering. Designed by José María Olazábal, the two-time Masters Champion, and officially opened in early 2022, this par-72 championship course offers a challenging and visually striking round of golf in the elevated landscape of Navarino Hills.

Complementing its sister course - the Hills Course - this layout is slightly more demanding, combining strategic water hazards, dramatic elevation changes, and well-positioned bunkers to test every aspect of your game.

The course experience

The International Olympic Academy Course is a tour-level layout set among the rolling hills of the Peloponnese, with expansive views over valleys, forests, and the distant coastline. While beautiful, the course is designed to challenge low-handicap and professional players, making use of:

• Strategically placed bunkers
• Multiple water features
• Sloped greens and demanding approach angles

It’s a true test of skill and course management, perfect for golfers seeking a more competitive edge on their golf holiday in Greece.

Course facilities

As with all Costa Navarino golf venues, the Olympic Course delivers top-tier amenities:

• A luxurious, eco-conscious clubhouse, designed by Lubomír Zeman and built using locally sourced stone, offering panoramic views and refined architecture
• Full practice facilities, including a golf range, putting greens, and short-game areas to fine-tune your game before your round
• On-site pro shop with premium golf brands and gear

Signature Holes

Hole 12 - Par 3 Perched on a cliff edge, this stunning par-3 plays into the breeze. The green is surrounded by olives and bordered by penalty terrain. A precise mid-iron to the safest part of the green is key; par feels like a win. Once done, enjoy the panoramic view.
