Golfing in North Cyprus

Golf is a rapidly growing sport in North Cyprus, and no wonder. The excellent Cyprus climate means that keen golfers can play all year round. From November to March the climate is cool and ideal for golf, so long as you don’t mind the occasional rain shower. By May, the midday sun means you should opt for early tee times to avoid the heat, or come in September and October, which offer near ideal playing conditions.

New 18 hole golf course in North Cyprus

The new Korinium Esentepe Golf and Country Club is the first 18 hole international standard golf course in Northern Cyprus, and boasts the usual range of features, including greens, sand bunkers and water hazards.  The 6,600 yards-long course is set amongst natural greenery and scenery, including mature trees and shrubs, so it feels like a long-established golf course in North Cyprus, not a new and soulless one. The greens are watered from two man-made reservoirs, to reduce the environmental impact on the North Cyprus water reserves.

Esentepe Golf Course North Cyprus: facilities

You can practice your swing at the 30 bay driving range, which is a spacious 295m x 100m, or take a lesson from the golf academy (with three holes of its own). After all that exercise, you can relax at the 19th hole in the clubhouse with a cooling drink or enjoy a meal at the 200-seat restaurant. Golf carts are available for those who prefer to ride rather than walk on their round of golf in North Cyprus.
