LifeLong Golf Goes to Greece!

April 27th – May 3rd, 2025

YOUR CURATED GOLF EXPERIENCE AT COSTA NAVARINO

Costa Navarino is located in Messinia in the southwest Peloponnese. Located on the shores of the Ionian sea, this is one of the most enchanting destinations in the Mediterranean.

LifeLong Golfers will enjoy accommodations at The Romanos, a five-star Luxury Collection Resort, play 18 holes on all four signature courses, and receive dedicated coaching from Top 100 teachers, Jennifer Hudson and Elena King.

Included in this incredible golf experience are unique dining experiences showcasing the local cuisine. Participants will also have free time to explore the rich cultural heritage of the region, enjoy Costa Navarino’s award-winning spas or bask in the beautiful Ionian sea.

The Romanos: “A distinctive environment of authentic luxury.”

Set amid lush olive groves overlooking the storied waters of the Ionian Sea, LifeLong Golfers will enjoy accommodations in deluxe guest rooms featuring partial sea views.

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.
