The Hills Course
The art of golf sculpted by José Maria Olazabal
Costa Navarino's very first 18-hole course, The Dunes, was opened in 2010. Created by Bernhard Langer in partnership with Ross McMurray of European Golf Design, it laid the foundations for a leading golf destination in Greece.

The route in detail
The following year, in 2011, the Bay course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., opened at Navarino Bay, located approximately 10 kilometers south of the main site.
Privileged location
In 2022, the golf offer was enriched with two new 18-hole courses on the Navarino Hills site, located just southeast of Navarino Bay. The 36 holes were designed by two-time Masters winner and Ryder Cup legend, José María Olazábal, with his Olazábal Design team.
Among them, the Hills Course boasts a par 72 over a total distance of 6,251 meters from the white starts. The most notable holes are the 5th hole, a par 3 of 132 meters, the shortest but also one of the most aesthetic, and the formidable 6th hole, a long par 6 considered the most difficult of the outward leg. On the return, the 13th hole, a par 4, offers a great birdie opportunity for strategic players.
