Course Report
Afandou Golf Club is the only golf course on the island of Rhodes and is scheduled for a redesign by Jack Nicklaus in the coming years, aiming to modernize and enhance its seaside challenge.
About
Afandou Golf Club, designed by Donald Harradine in 1973, is the only golf course on Rhodes. This 18-hole, par-73 seaside course offers golfers scenic views along Afandou Beach, undulating fairways, and a variety of challenges. Praised for its friendly environment and welcoming approach, Afandou is accessible year-round and caters to all skill levels in a relaxed setting.
Caddie Tip
Bring plenty of water and sun protection for summer rounds, as shade is sparse and coastal winds can affect club selection. Stay below the hole on greens for easier putts, and beware of dense rough on miss-hits near the seaside holes.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge at Afandou Golf Club is contending with coastal winds and firm, sometimes dry surfaces, particularly on the holes nearest to the beach. Smart shot strategy and precision irons are vital for avoiding difficult lies and maximizing scoring chances.
The Good
Golfers love the seaside holes that play right along the Mediterranean, offering spectacular ocean views and a fresh coastal breeze. The open design makes it playable for all skill levels, while its relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff provide a welcoming Greek golf experience.
The Not So Good
Golfers commonly mention the dryness of the fairways during summer and the need for improved irrigation. While the greens are generally playable, some visitors note inconsistent maintenance and outdated facilities compared to modern European standards.
