Four 18-hole signature courses
Costa Navarino’s two original signature golf courses, The Dunes designed by two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer which opened in 2010, was joined a year later by The Bay designed by legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. They have since been joined by two 18-hole signature courses designed by fellow double Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal, the International Olympic Academy Golf Course and The Hills.
The Dunes is set in diverse natural scenery with incredible ocean views and takes its name from the tall dunes that separate several holes from the beach. The Bay provides panoramic sea and mountain views, with two holes playing right along the Bay of Navarino, while The International Olympic Academy Golf Course and The Hills Course offer golfers a challenging test and breathtaking sunsets.
The four excellent golf courses are complemented by the Navarino Golf Academy with its full-size driving range, putting green and short-game practice area, along with expert tuition supported by the latest technology.
Surrounded by history
The extraordinary collection of resorts and golf courses at Costa Navarino is surrounded by secluded bays and beaches, historic villages and ancient UNESCO World Heritage sites, offering guests a perfect blend of world-class golf, heritage and indulgence tucked away in one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful locations.
