Minthis Hills at Minthis Hills Golf Course

Minthis Hills Golf Course sits in the hills above Paphos in southwestern Cyprus, approximately 20 minutes inland from the Mediterranean coast. The course occupies elevated terrain near the village of Tsada, where the landscape transitions from coastal plains to the foothills of the Troodos Mountains. The setting offers views across the surrounding countryside and toward the sea, with the course routed through natural ravines and across rolling hillside terrain planted with indigenous vegetation including olive and carob trees.

The design history reflects multiple phases of development. Donald Steel's involvement established the original routing that works with the property's significant elevation changes and natural topography. The layout incorporates the terrain's dramatic features, with several holes playing across or along steep-sided valleys that create natural hazards and strategic interest. The course measures over 6,000 yards from the back tees and presents a variety of hole types that respond to the landscape rather than impose upon it.

Cyprus golf remains relatively limited compared to other Mediterranean destinations, and Minthis Hills represents one of the island's established courses. The facility serves both resort visitors and local membership, with the course playable year-round due to the region's mild winter climate. The elevated position provides natural cooling compared to coastal areas during summer months. The club operates as part of a residential and resort community, typical of golf development in Cyprus, where the sport caters to both international visitors and the island's expatriate population.
