Reviews from Google“A fantastic golfing experience at Crete Golf Club. The course is beautifully maintained (though some people decide not to fix their divots!!!!) and surrounded by stunning scenery, making the whole round really enjoyable. Played the back 9. The caddy was great! The rental clubs, taylormade, were also very good quality, which was a pleasant surprise. After the round, the clubhouse restaurant was a great place to relax, with a nice atmosphere and good food. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Crete!”
“We visited The Crete Golf Club for a quick round and lunch, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. The service was efficient and friendly, and we were able to complete all the formalities quickly without any hassle. The golf course itself was very well maintained and nicely taken care of. It has several really interesting holes, including a memorable par 3 over a gorge and a few fun doglegs, which made the round more enjoyable. The clubhouse food was typical for this kind of place — nothing extraordinary, but perfectly fine after a round of golf. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth visiting if you are looking for a quick round in Crete. The only downside we noticed was that, on the day we played, the driving range was not available due to an event. Apart from that, everything was really good.”
“Couldn't fault it. On holiday from the UK, so me and my son decided to go. Hired clubs, a buggy. Course was simply breathtaking. We teed off at 7.10 (not available on the website but if you email them then they will do it earlier. That was a game changer because of the heat. Wouldn't recommended tee'ing off in the warmer part of the day. Course so well kept.”
“I had my first solo holiday here and honestly couldn’t have had a better experience! Beautiful clean rooms, peaceful pool area - not busy at all ! I didn’t travel anywhere and stayed purely in the hotel, so can’t comment on the location to other places, you can see the water park from the pool so assuming it’s not too far ! Only a 25 minutes drive from the airport! The staff were amazing, Rania served me dinner and lunch and couldn’t have asked for better service - super friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful experience”
“Tough to evaluate the course properly with the wind we played through, but overall a fun track. Greens were much slower than expected. Cool views. Laid back hospitality, nice buffet for breakfast. Not much of a pro shop.”
