245 - Corfu Golf Club

Location: Corfu, Greece

Rating: 7.0

Corfu Golf Club is the one and only course on this stunning Greek island. A short drive from the airport and set in the heart of the island it is perfectly positioned to host visitors across the island.

Playing in late September was a perfect time, much cooler temperatures than the beaming summer sun and even a bit of morning mist to add a bit of mystique to the course.

Having seen the reviews of the course I was unsure whether or not to go to the effort of playing the course but I was pleasantly surprised. It is clear that the course has struggled in recent times and needs some investment but still provides a very good offering in the condition it is in. The last few holes actually showed signs of turning into a very well looked after course.

Upon arrival I was greeted by the very friendly Assistant Golf Manager, Bia, and provided with a very nice set of rental clubs before heading down to the range. A grass range with stunning views of the surrounding valley. Views which are there throughout the round.

The course itself is flat, there is not much in the way of undulations and relies on the water hazards and tree lined fairways to provide some difficulty. I really like the way it is set out in that the first 9 was a bit wider, more open, more opportunity to miss and then slowly starts to tighten as you head toward the back 9 with more tree trouble and more thought and strategy required on each shot.

Whilst the course isn’t in the best condition at the moment it is certainly showing signs that it will get better and it has everything to be a really great destination on the island. I would certainly recommend stopping by if you’re visiting Corfu and keen on a round and for €60-70 a round it really isn’t bad value!
