Hitting A Hole-In-One At Korineum Golf Course

Nothing beats hitting a hole-in-one, except perhaps doing it in the stunning surroundings of the Mediterranean coast. Korineum Golf Course is an 18-hole championship golf course in North Cyprus, designed for golfers of all abilities. Unlike most golf courses, it offers you the opportunity to play golf with a stunning backdrop of mountain and sea views. Hiring a golf buggy to get around the course is highly recommended, as many of the holes are designed around hilltops!

History

The plot where the course is situated was first selected in the 1990s, and designed to be ‘a natural golf paradise’. The project was finally completed in 2006. Thousands of golfers have since travelled from all over the world to play on the unique course, including many well-known politicians and sports personalities.

Day trips

If you want to leave the hotel, you can explore North Cyprus by signing up for one of the resort’s many tours and day trips. Visit Kyrenia Castle, which was built by the Byzantines; Bellapais, where you can sit under the Tree of Idleness; or Nicosia, the biggest city on the island. See the wild donkeys of Karpas or take a trip to Famagusta, a small port and fishing village. If you fancy something more active, you can hire a bike and hit one of the mountain trails, or hike through the unique natural environment of North Cyprus.

Golf Course

You don’t have to take part in one of the tours to get out and about. The resort also offers a courtesy shuttle to Kyrenia at certain times each day. It’s a picturesque harbour town with plenty of bars and restaurants to relax in. You can wander the cobble streets, browse souvenir shops and sample freshly caught seafood.

Kyrenia

With such a vast expanse of ocean around you, you can’t leave without spending some time diving in the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. With marine life from the Red Sea washing through on gentle currents, there’s plenty to see, from turtles to parrot fish. The resort also offers deep sea fishing trips, which take around 6 hours and include some time for lunch and swimming.
