Limassol has strengthened its position as a rising Mediterranean sports tourism hub with the official opening of the 18-hole championship golf course at Limassol Greens – a landmark development that blends urban accessibility, winter sun appeal and five-star hospitality.
Set within one of Cyprus’ most ambitious lifestyle-led real estate projects, the par-71 course has been designed by renowned architect Cabell B. Robinson, whose portfolio includes some of Europe’s most respected layouts.
Spanning 6,304 metres of carefully contoured terrain, the course combines flowing fairways, immaculate greens and strategically placed bunkers to deliver both challenge and playability.
Course design: strategy shaped by the elements
Limassol Greens has been carefully crafted to offer changing rhythms throughout the round.
- Holes 1-5: Defined by the prevailing wind, demanding early accuracy and controlled ball striking.
- Holes 6-11: Wind direction shifts in the player’s favour, presenting scoring opportunities.
- Holes 13-15: A distinctive stretch requiring creativity and precise shot selection.
- Closing stretch:
- 16th: A demanding par-5 played into the wind.
- 17th: A precision-heavy par-3.
- 18th: A sweeping hole wrapped around a natural lake, finishing on a long, narrow green that rewards confident club choice.
The layout balances technical challenge with scenic Mediterranean views, reinforcing Cyprus’ growing reputation as a premium winter sun golf destination.
The only urban golf resort in Cyprus
A defining feature of Limassol Greens is its city setting – the only golf resort in Cyprus located within an urban environment. Within minutes, visitors can access:
- Limassol Marina
- Lady’s Mile Beach
- Limassol’s business district
- City of Dreams Mediterranean
This connectivity positions the development uniquely for both leisure and business travellers – a model increasingly shaping modern sports tourism infrastructure.
Beyond golf, the wider Limassol Greens masterplan will introduce luxury residences, wellness facilities, dining concepts and leisure amenities built to international standards.
Partnership with City of Dreams Mediterranean
Further amplifying its appeal, Limassol Greens has launched a luxury golf partnership with City of Dreams Mediterranean – the five-star integrated resort located adjacent to the course.
The collaboration introduces tailored golf experiences and exclusive offerings for resort guests, targeting international travellers seeking a blend of sport, hospitality and high-end leisure.
