America and elsewhere.
About The Crete Golf Club
The Crete Golf Club
Introducing
golf to Crete, local hoteliers have put together a team of world-class
designers (PGADC) and developers to create an 18-hole championship golf
resort. Catering to tourists, the course was built to meet USGA standards.
It features a desert course design language, with four sets of tees, wide
fairways and perfect maintenance in a typical mountainous Cretan environment,
offering unparalleled views. The Crete Golf Club is located within a 10-minute
drive from the favourite tourist destination of Hersonissos, a tourist
centre 24 km. east of Heraklion.
The development, on a 720,000 square metres site, cost EUR
16,140,870 to
develop. This is the first full 18-hole golf course to be
opened on the beautiful island of Crete. It is a 6,430-yard course with two driving
ranges. The course was designed
golf course architect Mr. Bob Hunt of PGA Design Consulting, United Kingdom.
The Crete Golf Club was
officially opened by Mr. Nikos Christodoulakis, Greece's Minister of
Economy and Finance, on Sunday, October 19th, 2003, but has been operating
since the beginning of July 2003.
