What couldn’t be more perfect than my recent golf stay at The Crete Golf Club, just a mere 30 minutes from the islands capital of Heraklion. Embracing the wild, magnificent, local scenery, the hotel is modern and cozy with large, beautiful picture windows framing the mountains, sea and course. Should you choose not to be fully air-conditioned, a quiet overhead fan will lure you off to sleep with the fresh country air at night. The pool is a sanctuary of its own, tucked off on a quiet backside with a gentle breeze, the aroma of wild herbs and local vegetation, and the jingle of the local goats bells. The restaurant veranda for breakfast, lunch or dinner, offers you not only specular views over the 18th hole, but the best of Cretan dishes catering to all diets. Don’t miss the local hand made spinache pies… light and thin as air. The course with its challenging holes, superb greens and undulating hills (I defiantly recommend a buggy) guarantees to challenge ALL handicaps. Each tee box, fairway and green is in immaculate condition. The modern driving range, and practice area, along with superb coaches guarantee you will make more than ample progress during your stay should you choose. The caddy master not only sets you up with a sparkling clean buggy, clubs and tees, but also fills the attached ice filled cool box with complimentary water for your round - Cretan hospitality all the way! The professional, friendly staff cannot be helpful enough, but the hole in one goes to the Clubs manager Nicholas Sotiropoulos, who does a fabulous job of leading his staff. Young, respectful and mentored by one of the best in the industry, he shares just enough of his busy day with the guest listening to their needs and experiences without being intrusive. Over all, an amazing experience!! I’m only sorry I couldn’t play more and better to honour such a fabulous place. More reason to come back and try again, again ... and again!

May not be a golf player, but this hotel could easily be the destination for a relaxing holiday. Away from the busy north coast, on the hills of central Crete, the landscape is so unique; the green grass of golf course under the rocky Cretan mountains covered with olive and carob trees, wildflowers and shrubs. Enjoying the hot Mediterranean sun by the beautiful swimming pool was all we needed during our three day stay, while the restaurant's menu kept our appetite more than happy (its fascinating veranda is surrounded with lavenders and purple buganvilias facing the golf course). And the rooms are so spacious, actually of suite size. Marble bathroom with full amenities and a full mini bar, Nespresso coffee machine, candies and crisps and the list goes on... The personnel went above and beyond to help and serve our needs and everyone was so friendly especially to our daughter. Definitely recommended and definitely we'll be back, maybe next time we'll try the game too. Keep an eye for the grouses hidden in the shrubs, they love the game!

What a great golf course. For reference we were an adult with a junior (16) and paid €250 for the rounds of golf, hire of premium clubs each and a buggy. The golf course is beautiful. It's not long but it's brutal if you stray off line. There's nothing for being off the fairway on many holes, but the rewards are there for placement. A good challenge, likely played in the sun, so what's not to like. The buggy came with an ice box on the side and 4 bottles of water, and this was topped up as we reached the 9th, along with being able to buy a couple of cans of Mythos!! The staff are all lovely, especially the Buggy Man, the food was fab...... generally a great place and worth the treat for us. Will would definitely return. (Just maybe with a few more golf balls!!)

Great golf course, very well cared for especially for the climate. Greens are fast, fairways are taken care of, and the facilities are very nice. This course is very pretty but very brutal; lots of out of bounds areas, and very small margins for error. The design feels artificially brutal at times, but this is subjective depending on how good you are at golf. The staff were okay, but with every transaction whether at the bar or the pro shop, I felt like I was being rushed to make decisions. The starter was FANTASTIC. Good sense of humor and clearly knew what he was doing. Hole 8 is something else for sure, a long with some of the other keystone holes the course has to offer. As golf gets bigger and bigger, I hope to see more people at this lovely course!

The calm atmosphere of the hotel, surrounded by nature, is perfect for a relaxing break. The golf course offers a great escape with its beautiful views and greenery. Breakfast is fantastic and always fresh. In short, the Crete Golf Club Hotel is an amazing place to unwind and enjoy a laid-back vacation.

We had a wonderful experience golfing here with breath-taking views of the Dikti Mountains, including Mt Spathi reaching 2,148 meters or 6,900 feet. I was unable to clearly capture the magnitude and height of these mountains with my camera, visiting is much better. The staff was very helpful since we needed to rent clubs. Someone met us at hole 9 for refreshments to purchase. We love to golf and golf all over California, but this was a truly special golfing experience in Crete. The course was challenging but not punishing, only lost one ball. There are a couple of beautiful forced carries, but the rest was beautiful and challenging.
