The Crete Golf Club near Hersonissos is the only 18-hole golf course on the island of Crete and one of the most impressive courses of the Mediterranean, which holds a unique challenge and a pleasant experience for both golf players and visitors all year round. It is easily accessible from Heraklion Airport within 25 minutes (24 km).

Almost excellent September 9, 2011
I have played this course at the beginning of September - high season of tourists spending their time on beaches. The golf course was almost empty (Sunday morning), driving range was completely empty (Saturday afternoon) - I expect that the most of visitors come in winter.
The weather was perfect, few degrees lower temperature than on the beach and neverending wind coming from the sea. I expected that buggy will be necessary because of temperature, but reality was that it is necessary because of hilly terrain.
The course is not long, but it is really hard. There is fairway, semi-rough, sometimes rough, but when you shot a little bit outside, you can say good bye to the ball. Almost no outs, but searching for the ball is very difficult outside the fairway.
You will not see the sea (or I did not), but the land-views are one of the best.
What I liked: The crete is waterless land, but the course is in very good condition. Fairways mostly perfect. Nice toilets on each 9. Greens are "clear". Difficult, but for me easy to read. Hole 6 - wonderful par 3 shooting over the valley. Hole 13 - very difficult par4 with unexpected last 100 m (you will see the flag from 80 meters, not earlier).
What I did not like: It is not excellent, there are places on the fairways that "are not fairways". roughs are sometimes several centimeters, sometimes not (not speaking about the semi-roughs). Slightly higher prices - e.g. 10 Euro range fee. On almost all holes (except 3-pars) you do not see the flag - because of hilly style. No map of greens on scorecard (pin positions).
