Secret Valley Golf Club - Venus Rock
Secret Valley Golf Club - Venus Rock
Four of these courses are in the Paphos district namely: Elea Estate, Aphrodite Hills, Minthis Hills and Secret Valley with Vikla Golf and Country Club situated in the Limassol district. The British community make up the largest share of active golf members and players at each of the clubs in the Paphos area. Tourists are welcome as guests at all of the courses and ‘golf tours’ are becoming more popular in Cyprus as both amateur and professional players from around Europe see the advantages of the great weather and all year round playing conditions. But golf courses/clubs in Cyprus offer far more than what most people realise. Each golf club is more of a resort location offering a lifestyle many can only dream about for those coming from Northern Europe. You don’t have to be a golf fanatic to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and wonderful dining experiences. Indeed you can experience some of the very best culinary delights on offer as each club boasts about the skills of their international chef teams and fully trained catering staff. So far the only golf course offering hotel facilities is Aphrodite Hills (Sensatori Resort) some of the other courses have plans for hotel facilities in the future. But travelling distances are short between all courses with Elea Estate being located close to Paphos centre and Minthis Hills only a 15 minute drive away. Aphrodite Hills is located just off the main Paphos to Limassol road in Kouklia and next to the Secret Valley course at Venus Rock. The Vikla course is only 25km from Limassol.

Golf in Cyprus has come a long way during the past few years. The island now has five golf courses.

Nestled in the hills of the picturesque village of Vikla, 25kms from Limassol, is Vikla Golf & Country Club, where you are invited to play a round or two of golf against a backdrop of spectacular beauty. The emphasis here is on pleasure so the pace of your game should be as fast or slow as you’d like it to be. Whether you are on holiday in Cyprus, visiting friends or family in Limassol, or just passing through the Limassol region. Vikla Golf Club is a family run business that provides a facility which is not available anywhere else on the island. At Vikla you will play on quality grass greens, relax in an environment where people don’t take life or themselves too seriously, eat and drink at the bar happy that you’re paying the right price, and only pay 30 euros for golf! Vikla decided not to spend a fortune on water (which is scarce enough in Cyprus) to irrigate the fairways throughout the summer. This not only saves the island water, but also saves money meaning they can pass on these savings to you - They charge up to 75% less than other courses on the island. See: www.vikla4golf.com
Guest Policy: Guests are accepted Handicap Requirements: Everyone is encouraged to play at Vikla
