Glyfada Golf Club

In Athens? This is your course

By deTraci Regula, About.com

Designed by Donald Haradine in 1962 and then remodeled by Robert Trent Jones for the 27th World Cup Series in 1979, Glyfada was Greece’s first 18-hole golf course. It's said to be a tight course with many trees.

Glyfada is also the most active Greek course in training new young golfers. It’s the home of the Greece branch of the PGA and the Hellenic Golfing Federation. The course facilities are also home to PGA Hellas and the Hellenic Golf Federation.

Hotels: The Best Western Fenix Hotel is located next to the Glyfada Golf Course and there are many other fine hotels in the upscale Glyfada area. The Golf Course maintains a relationship with the world-class luxury Astir Palace hotel complex along the coast toward scenic Cape Sounion.
