Since the opening of the Korineum Golf Course and Country Club near Esentepe in 2007, North Cyprus has become a favoured destination for golf tourism. The course was designed by the renowned British golf architect, David Hemstock, and is of international championship standard, hosting several professional tournaments each year. These include the Glenfiddich Open Golf Tournament in February, the Besparmak Trophy and Gayem Open.

About a half-hour drive north of the capital Nicosia, Korineum is served by numerous hotels, both close by to Esentepe, and further out towards Kyrenia. If you are unfamiliar with the area, or if you are planning your first golfing trip to North Cyprus, it is well worth your while checking out some independent hotel reviews through a Northern Cyprus Hotels booking and reviewing website so as to give yourself a feel for the type of accommodation available, and its distance from the Course.
Korineum Golf Course Information

Spectacularly woven into 65 hectares of natural olive grove and Carob Tree scrub, the Korineum Golf Course is a real asset to the landscape in which it is set. Views of the mountains and the sea are afforded at every one of its 18 holes. At par 72 and 6,232 metres in length, Korineum is designed to challenge pros, but equally is suitable for beginners to the sport.

The course is open all year round. Features of note at Korineum include:

* Greens average 500sqm
* Tees average 5 per hole
* Fairways undulating and strategically shaped
* Bunkers are a mix of sand and white crushed marble
* Two lakes provide water hazards on the course

Club House and Facilities

The clubhouse at Korineum is a state-of-the-art eco friendly building designed to blend with the natural environment in which it stands. It houses two restaurants, a golfer’s lounge, bar, spa, fitness centre, gymnasium and conference rooms. Sea and mountain views are gained from the building’s extensive outside terraces, as are views along the golf course itself. So whether you wish to relax with a drink or a meal after a round of golf, or simply need inspiration to keep your non-golfing partner happy while you’re out with your clubs, the Korineum clubhouse could be just the ticket!
