Cyprus is emerging as the winter golf destination to rival Spain and Portugal
City of Dreams Mediterranean offers luxury winter golf breaks, with championship golf at Limassol Greens on its doorstep
The 500-room, Vegas-style resort offers golfers a next level luxury with premium dining, spa, health and fitness, tennis academy, padel and grand casino onsite.
For golfers seeking an escape from the UK’s winter weather, Cyprus is emerging as one of Europe’s most exciting alternatives to destinations such as Spain and Portugal, thanks to its combination of a year-round sunshine, excellent range of championship courses, Mediterranean scenery and luxury hospitality.
City of Dreams Mediterranean in Limassol is at the heart of the growing golf scene on the island, where guests can combine a luxurious five-star resort stay with world-class golf at Limassol Greens, the recently opened 18-hole Championship Golf Course located next to the resort.
With Cyprus enjoying mild winters and abundant sunshine with an average of around six hours of bright sunshine a day even in December and January and between 300 – 340 days of sun a year, it offers Brits the opportunity to continue playing outdoors through the winter months avoiding the shorter days and unpredictable playing conditions at home in the UK.
A new chapter for Cyprus golf
Cyprus already has an established golf scene, including renowned courses such as Aphrodite Hills, Minthis, Secret Valley and Eléa, courses which City of Dreams also has established partnerships with, but the arrival of Limassol Greens has added another dimension for golfers visiting the island.
For visitors to City of Dreams Mediterranean, Limassol Greens is the standout addition. Designed by renowned golf course architect Cabell B. Robinson, the par-71 Championship Course measures approximately 6.3 kilometres and combines strategic play with the natural beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. With flowing fairways, strategically positioned bunkers and immaculate greens there is a challenging and entertaining experience for golfers of all abilities.
Limassol Greens sits next door to City of Dreams Mediterranean, meaning guests can travel from their five-star accommodation to the first tee within a matter of minutes, with the resort offering complimentary return transfers to the course as part of its Ultimate Golf Experience.
In addition to the 18-hole experience, the 30-bay Driving Range, including 15 bays equipped with Trackman technology, provides a dedicated space to practise, analyse and improve performance. While golf lessons offer new or established players the opportunity to develop their technique with professional guidance.
Relaxing after a round
After a morning on the fairways, golfers can return to City of Dreams for a rejuvenating treatment at Renu Spa, relax around the extensive pool complex or enjoy the resort’s premium dining and entertainment experiences.
Those looking to stay active after their round can choose from tennis, padel and the Adventure Park. And for those who want to continue the play into the evening, there’s also the Grand Casino, one of Europe’s largest, offering a full range of gaming tables, slot machines and live entertainment.
The result is a golf break that feels much more like a luxury, Vegas-style escape in the heart of the Mediterranean, than a traditional golf trip.
The Ultimate Golf Experience at City of Dreams Mediterranean
Guests staying at City of Dreams Mediterranean can book the resort’s Ultimate Golf Experience, combining a luxury stay with access to Limassol Greens. The championship course is located immediately next to the resort and complimentary round-trip transfers are included when golf is booked through the resort.
