Golf for everyone
Winner of the coveted ‘World’s Best Golf Venue’ honour at the World Golf Awards in 2024 and 2025, the new golf season at Costa Navarino is set to be busiest yet for the destination and its four signature courses – The Dunes Course, The Bay Course and the two layouts at Navarino Hills, the International Olympic Academy Golf Course and The Hills Course.
At the heart of the golf offering will be two major international tournaments in June, the Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy and the AEGEAN Messinia Pro-Am. The Legends Tour event will take place from June 8-13 and offers an exclusive ‘up close and personal’ playing experience alongside a group of golf legends, with a private golf clinic and Q & A session. Additional benefits include a place in an invitation-only pro-am and inside-the-ropes spectator viewing access to the 54-hole tournament.
The AEGEAN Messinia Pro-Am promises to be equally memorable, with an international field of professionals and amateurs set to gather in Greece for a new summer date (June 24-28) to celebrate the 20th edition of the 54-hole event. This year’s pro-am is poised to feature a record line-up of 75 teams, while golfers will also be able to enjoy a wide and varied tournament schedule at Costa Navarino over the coming months.
