Elea Estate sits in the hills above Paphos on Cyprus's southwestern coast, designed by Nick Faldo and opened in 2010. The course occupies a dramatic landscape of limestone ridges, natural ravines, and indigenous vegetation, with views extending across the Mediterranean. Faldo routed the eighteen holes through significant elevation changes, using the property's natural contours to create a varied test that moves through different terrain zones as the round progresses. The design emphasizes strategic options from the tee and approaches that must account for both elevation and wind. Several holes play along or across ravines, while others occupy plateau areas with more open character. The bunkering reflects Faldo's preference for clear visual definition, and the greens feature considerable internal movement. Water comes into play selectively, most notably on holes in the lower sections of the property. The course stretches over 7,000 yards from the championship tees, though multiple tee options accommodate different skill levels. Elea Estate operates as part of a residential development, with the golf course serving as the central amenity. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse positioned to take advantage of the elevated setting. The course has hosted professional events on the European developmental tours, providing tournament-standard conditioning and setup. The Mediterranean climate allows for year-round play, with the cooler months offering relief from summer heat while maintaining firm playing conditions.
