Glyfada Golf
Located on a compact 125-acre site next to the old Athens airport, Glyfada Golf Club of Athens was founded in 1966 with members playing on an 18-hole parkland course designed by Donald Harradine.
Thirteen years later, Robert Trent Jones Snr. was asked to upgrade the layout ahead of the 27th edition of the World Cup of Golf, won by the 2-man USA team with a 72-hole score of one under par.
Today, the course extends to 6,261 metres and plays to a par of 72, with holes laid out as two returning nines. Highlight holes include short par fours at 2nd and 17th, along with the longest of the par fives at the 515-metre 7th and the shortest of the par threes at the 129-metre 16th.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
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.
