Porto Carras Golf Course

The international-standard 18-hole Golf Course with the mild Mediterranean climate all year round and the state-of-the-art, fully equipped facilities make Porto Carras Grand Resort the ideal Golf destination.

The course covers 77 hectares and was designed by Geoffrey Cornish and William Robinson as a 9 hole course. It was redesigned in 2003 by Roy Machary and opened in 2004 as an 18 hole course. The newly designed course utilizes Seashore Paspalum-Warm season grass. It is an 18-hole, par 72 course with four par 5, four par 3 and 10 par 4 holes. The Porto Carras Golf Course offers a brand new club house, 2 practice range, 1 putting green, 1 chipping green and 1 bunker.

The construction works for the Porto Carras Golf course commenced in 1968, bringing about a true revolution in the tourist and cultural image of Greece. The first owner Giannis Carras had set as one of his top priority goals the creation of a golf course that would be the jewel of the whole resort and he managed to meet his goal in 1973. This was the course were the most important personalities of politics and social life of Greece played Golf: among them the ever-memorable President Konstantinos Karamanlis.
