The “World’s Best Emerging Golf Destination 2022” by World Golf Awards.
Costa Navarino includes four 18-hole signature courses:
The Dunes Course, set in diverse natural scenery with spectacular sea and river views, takes its name from the tall dunes that separate several holes from a golden beach. Designed by two-time US Masters Champion Bernhard Langer.
The Bay Course offers panoramic sea and mountain views, with two holes playing along the historic Bay of Navarino. Designed by the renowned Robert Trent Jones Jr.
The International Olympic Academy Golf Course and The Hills Course offer players a challenging game and breath taking sunsets. Designed by the two-time Masters champion and Ryder Cup legend José Marίa Olazábal.
