Afandou Golf Course

Afandou, on the beautiful island of Rhodes, is the new name for the most complete Golf Club resort in the Mediterranean. In character, atmosphere and feel, Rhodes is like no other island in the Aegean, and Afandou is all you expect a golf club resort to be. And more, since it occupies one of the loveliest spots in Rhodes, Afandou Bay, (22 km from Rhodes Town), on the road to Lindos, where the temple of Athena balances on a cliff top above faultless sands.

Features: One 18-hole, par-73, golf course (6800 yards), designed by Britain's world famous golf course architect, Donald Harradine. Since May 1973 the 18 holes have been made available to golfers. The course's tactical features are a challenge to good scoring, both for amateurs and professionals. The trees, fairways, and greens are laid with different grasses selected to keep the course green throughout the year. The Golf Club is open all the year round. Admission fees are nominal and caddies, caddy carts, golf clubs and balls, as well as instructions, are available at moderate hire charges.

Climate: The sky above Rhodes has been called "The great blue dome of the Aegean", and it is the combination of this ever present sun and the mild climate that gives Rhodes its special appeal. Winter temperatures are in the 50°s and 60°s. In spring the weather is blissful, the flowers are in bloom and the island is at its most ravishingly beautiful. In summer - well that's another story

How to get to Rhodes: There are regular daily flights from Athens, operated by Olympic Airways, Aegean, Cronus or Air Greece. Major airline companies operate charter flights during the spring and summer seasons from places all over Europe.
