A must-play for anyone staying at The Costa Navarino Resort, The Dunes Golf Course is a hugely popular choice for golfers of all handicaps. With a wide-variety of holes on offer, from the driveable second hole with The Romanos Hotel on your left, to the testing par-3 5th hole with a green that slopes away into the oblivion and the par-5 16th with sensational mountain views.
Designed by Bernhard Langer, the course sits perfectly within the mature Greek countryside, golfers will meander through ancient Olive groves and rocky outcrops in their quest for old man par. Accurate driving is key, with undulating fairways matched by elevated greens, club selection is key.
After your round, be sure to enjoy a meal at FLAME in The Dunes Clubhouse, this culinary hotspot is well-recommended.
The 18-hole championship golf course designed by US Masters Champion and Ryder Cup Captain Bernhard Langer in association with European Golf Design and professionally managed by Troon Golf, offers spectacular sea and river views and is the first signature golf course in Greece.

Of the four courses on the estate my order of preference was 1 The Hills 2 The Bay 3. the Dunes 4 The Olympic . But the Dunes is still a 9/10 course with some stunning holes . I loved them all

Good standard and tough in the wind! Generally excellent and challenging for single handicappers. Only comment would be that the greenkeepers clearly don’t play golf as several of the pin positions were in places verging on unfair.

A top class golf course. Very well kept. The dunes on either side of the fairway do rescue wayward shots a bit.

By far the premier course of the resort. Long, tough and well bunkered holes. Cleverly designed with some particularly impressive and stand out holes. Greens US ironing board quick standard. Right up there with Monte Rei in Portugal and Finca Cortesin in Spain. We rated it 8.5-9.0 out of 10

Probably the longest and most difficult course we played. Greens were slightly chewed up given our late tee time. Overall a brilliant experience and amazing lunch and dinner in Flames restaurant.

We went out first and, as there were only two of us were able to complete the round without any delays.
The course was beautiful with well maintained fairways, bunkers and greens. Just perfect.

this Bernard Langer course will really suit the longer hitters, all greens are protected by a lot of bunkers, so you have to have a reliable shot in....
The greens were pockmarked by many unprepared pitch marks, a bane of resort courses everywhere..
Several coaching groups in the practice area meant no bunker practice and being moved to the end of the driving range as coached groups had a reserved area. This didn't impress!!

The Dunes is a challenging but fair course with some beautiful sea views, and interesting and varied holes. Caddy masters are very helpful, flexible and calm under pressure. It was in immaculate condition, the greens superb. The practice facilities are second to none. We never tire of playing here.

I would say buggies are helpful as on some holes the walk from Green to Tee was considerable, but perfectly do able as the course is not hilly.
A lovely course and the organisation from the golf staff amazing.

Compared to previous visits the course was very busy - perhaps too busy which led to chivying to hurry up which detracts from the experience. It ali left virtually no choice of tee times or playing partners. Fortunately the 4 balls I was put in proved friendly but it could easily have gone badly wrong. I assume there had been a special promotion that may have been too successful. Perhaps I have been spoiled by enjoying the courses in the past when time was not an issue.
