Lorna Godwin1 reviewJust Back from Crete Golg Club 10th Oct 2012
Reviewed October 13, 2012
Loved the course, fantastic setting amongst the mountains. I play off 21 handicap and found the red tees gave me tomuch advantage on the guy i was playing with. Therefore played off blue and blacks. Probably the best golf course ive played to date. All holes memorable. The 11th has the best views ever. Par 3 across a revine awesome. Cant wait to go back. Only draw back very quiet and too expensive to play there often. I have a house in Crete and would love to play golf there in the winter.
Bukci1 reviewAlmost excellent
Reviewed 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).

We were amazed at how good condition the place is the end of December. Best-kept greens and great course something for serious golfers are still playing here until the end of February and enjoy the stunning views of Loch 10th The club management and greenkeepers, Pro extremely friendly.
We say here once again thank you for the hospitality shaft.
