Rather unfortunately, as this is essentially the 'home' of Greek golf and the only course in the country's capital, it's a 'goat track'. The fairways are inconsistently grassed, the greens don't roll true - 95% of players here would be members and have never heard of a divot repair tool - and many holes are quite short. Although there are doglegs and slight elevation changes, it's all pretty uninspiring.
To top it all off, you pay 50 euros for the 'privilege' of playing here. I would suggest that for a course with a quality at the lower end of most 'council' or 'municipal' run establishments about 15 euros tops would be fair. But I guess it's all about supply and demand, and as it's the only course in Athens, it can charge what it wants. As a visitor then, I wouldn't bother.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
