The perfect blend of 5-star luxury and championship golf, Aphrodite Hills Resort Hotel offers holidaymakers a truly special golf break. The PGA National Cyprus has become a world-class golf course and a must-play in the Mediterranean, leading to Aphrodite Hills being named European Golf Resort of the Year for 2018.

A warm Cypriot welcome awaits at the resort’s spectacular hotel, the 290-room accommodation offers everything you would expect of a 5-star establishment with resort facilities including a fitness centre, leisure facilities and the Retreat Spa..

Spanning the contours of the landscape's two plateaus, Aphrodite Hills is carved through lakes, carob trees and delightful olive groves, all of which are part of its immediate position among the elite of European golf. With a view towards hosting prestigious international professional tournaments, Aphrodite Hills can be set up to test even the finest players, as evidenced when it hosted the prestigious PGA Europro Tour Championship in 2010. However, it is essentially a resort course, and as such the variety of tees ensures that this 18hole golf course also remains playable for the average visitor.
The course spans the magnificent cliff-tops to the south of Paphos, and affords incredible views of the Mediterranean Sea. Robinson has also used this landscape to create a number of awe-inspiring holes; the most notable are the short 7th, at the foot of a gaping ravine, and the nerve-jangling island green at the long closing hole.
The course does justice to both the 5* quality and the natural beauty that are the trademarks of the resort, and should ensure a truly memorable golf holiday at Aphrodite Hills.

Aphrodite Hills boasts a top quality golf academy; sharpen your skills at the double-ended range, the dedicated short game zone, or the three-hole academy course.
Favourite holes (according to designer, Cabell B. Robinson):
❝If you can carry 200 metres with your driver, you should try the back tee on the 3rd. It looks forever over the gorge, but it is only that far to reach safety. It is a thrill of a lifetime shot if you succeed. The 7th deep within the bowels of the canyon is another dramatic shot, while fantastic sea views are to be had at the 8th and 15th. Personally I think reaching for the back pin position on the 12th needs the most courage, while the 16th is my pick for the toughest par 4, and the 18th is a reachable and wonderful par 5.❞

The food was great in both buffet and a la carte restaurants, great breakfast too! Only had a few beers so no idea on the drinks but most people seemed to be enjoying. Staff in the bars/restaurants were really nice and friendly

We had an all inclusive option which worked out to be very good value, the hotel was fairly quiet, early February, and a really friendly homely feeling. Not sure it would feel as welcoming of it was busier.

Nice stay but parts of the hotel are becoming tired due to under-investment. Winter mode also meant showers at indoor heated pool were stone cold, as was the cooked breakfast buffet it seemed.
Gill

This is a comfortable hotel, albeit getting a little dated now it is very well kept in terms of cleanliness, rooms and beds are large and fairly quiet. We found the allinclusive option drinks to be below expectations especially wine and most of the food bordered on average - avoid Jasmine which was very poor.its a very easy location for golf and the hotel is easy to find too from the airport.

overall a fantastic place lovely friendly staff excellent restaurants very clean and tidy the golf course is immaculate and a real test the only negative is having to get up early every morning to secure a bed around the pool you should not have to do this in a 5* resort However overall a wonderful place for both golfers and non golfers highly recommended for a duel golf/holiday destination We will go back

Very much a family resort, lots of things for kids....more than adults. Golf club across the road from hotel so very convenient. Rooms are in blocks dotted around the resort, very comfy bed and well cleaned every day.

There were only 1 or 2 choices for food every night in December with about 6 restaurants closed due to off-season. No local food was on offer which was the biggest disappointment of the trip. However, the staff were fantastic and Laura at the Anoi pub was keeping the whole thing going almost single-handed.... The room was excellent with views over the course and impeccably clean. Taxi into Paphos for Greek food helped overcome the lack of local cuisine in the hotel (about 65 euros return).

Really fair test of golf, play well and relatively easy - play badly and it can punish you. Super fast green and tricky to read. Green fee is expensive and 5 Euros for 40 balls on the range felt a bit mean..decent facilities though

We had two rounds during our trip, both days were very enjoyable
David

Course sits on top of a ravine with holes on plateaus either side of the ravine, this means buggies are compulsory. The distance between holes 2 and 3 involve a 1km ride along the buggy path! Course was good but squeezed into the available space. Wouldn’t pay £142 to play this again 🤨
Nina
✓18 Feb 2020
Because there had been rain in previous weeks we were restricted to buggies on cart paths only, this had a big impact on pace of play. Unfortunately it is a course where buggies are needed because of the long distances between some greens and tees.
Don
✓27 Jan 2020
Most of things were perfect. The green was a bit too slow. The maintenance work were progressing while we played. Lunch restaurant was very nice. The service at the club storage area was excellent and the people were very kind. We have just enjoyed..

Certainly needed the provided buggies. The course was certainly very different but enjoyable. Greens were quite slow, which was a surprise giving their appearance. Club house and facilities were excellent. The only down side was I let my wife loose in the well stocked pro shop. Bad decision. Over all an excellent day.

Thankfully this is a buggy course to speed up play, greens best early morning as get plenty walking on later in afternoon. we were unable to complete our first round due to light despite starting before 1pm, there is an absence of marshalls to move on slow play. fairways had been worked on so we didnt see it at its best!!

The staff on the checking in desk were very dismissive.
Johnny
✓19 Aug 2019
A wonderful course in a fantastic location with great views. the course is tough and any shots not on the fairway are a real challenge to find in the deep rough as the ball nestles below the fluffy rough. the greens are in magnificent condition as is the rest of the course there is a real attention to detail that is obvious from every tee the drive in the buggy down to the 7th tee is not for the faint hearted but added to the experience. some wonderful holes and the course in my opinion is every bit as good as most in the Algarve. An early tee time pre 8.00am or around 5.00pm is recommended as the temperature does get extreme overall a really great course and fantastic helpful staff.

Buggy is essential as long walks between holes. Course in great condition. Staff very helpful and friendly.

This course has a big makeover and looks and plays superb it's so well organised from start to finish a real pleasure to play. For £750 pp for unlimited golf & your own villa with pool by the 1st tee you can't go wrong. STUNNING.

Buggys ready each day labelled up for our group with individual start times. Four rounds. 2 x Texas scramble, 1 x best two scores to count, 1 x Individual stableford for our groups annual trophy. Third year playing the course. Kept to suggested times each round. Restricted to 1 bottle if water pp or buy at €1 (free at hotel )penny-pinching or what?

fantastic course each hole was set up to provide different challenges panoramic views well marshalled. only negative was the close proximity of villas especially the water aerobic classes which left the instructor screaming when on the tee

Paul
✓14 Apr 2019
Nice course, very picturesque, green speed seemed a bit variable (front nine was fast, back nine seemed very slow). Some places you just can’t miss the fairway (e.g. left of 8, right of 13) and the 7th is a unique experience. Enjoyable rounds on both occasions we played it.

Buggies essential on this course. Shame thst you had to go off of the course quite a distance from the greens. Long drives between holes and not for the faint hearted travelling down into the reveanes. Some tricky holes greens were very slow up to other courses in the area
Angela

Resort allows anyone on course, rounds take ridiculous amount of time even with buggies. Ladies in proshop not customer service orientated and rude. Rangers on course did the best they could with slow play.
Jillian

Quite an experience, as the course is spread across a huge ravine, so buggies were mandatory (but free) and the paths were vertiginous! Greens tricky, but lovely course overall. Staff all really friendly and helpful. Practice facilities very good.

Allan
✓27 Dec 2018
The course was in excellent condition for December, there were many varied holes with some very challenging tee positions if you choose to play off the back tees! Took our own clubs so not sure what clubs to hire were like but staff there were very accommodating and facilities were excellent.
David

Buggies mandatory - 1000m between greens and tees twice. Because of recent rain, buggies had to stay on tracks. 5.3hr round! finished in twilight. But good course. I would have liked to go again. Cancelled my second round because of weather. Offered replacement, but heading home next day

3rd green was very poor and around all the fringes of the greens were very poor very little grass. not value for what we paid.
