About this course

Korinium Golf Club sits in the Kyrenia region of northern Cyprus, a Mediterranean setting characterized by rolling terrain and views toward the Kyrenia Mountains. The course was designed by David Hemstock, a British architect known for routing designs that work naturally with existing topography rather than imposing a predetermined template. The layout reflects the landscape's undulating character, with fairways that follow the contours of the site and greens positioned to reward accurate shot-making. The course plays through a mix of native Mediterranean vegetation and cultivated rough, typical of the region's climate and ecology. Holes are routed to take advantage of elevation changes, creating variety in approach angles and sight lines across the eighteen holes. The design emphasizes strategic placement of hazards—bunkers and water features where present—that encourage thoughtful club selection and course management rather than penalizing wayward shots indiscriminately. Korinium serves the local golfing community in Cyprus and visiting players exploring the island's courses. The club culture reflects the Mediterranean leisure tradition, with dining and social facilities oriented toward relaxed rounds and social play. The course presents a moderate challenge suitable for a range of handicaps, with enough strategic interest to engage accomplished players while remaining playable for those developing their game.

Getting there

Korinium Golf Club sits on the northern coast of Cyprus, accessible via Ercan International Airport (ECN) in Turkish-controlled northern Cyprus, a straightforward drive of roughly thirty minutes through the Kyrenia foothills, or alternatively through Larnaca International Airport (LCA) on the Republic side, followed by a scenic ninety-minute journey across the island's spine toward the Mediterranean. The approach winds through terraced villages and pine-clad ridges before descending toward the Kyrenia coastline, where the club's clifftop position commands views across the sapphire waters toward the Turkish mainland. Private aviation facilities exist at Ercan, though the discrete nature of this destination—nestled between two political jurisdictions—lends the arrival itself an air of quiet exclusivity, a final passage through winding coastal roads that feel worlds removed from the island's busier resort corridors. The club's perch above the northern shore serves as both sanctuary and vantage point, rewarding the journey with a sense of arrival at something genuinely apart.
