The Porto Elounda Golf Course is the only one on the island of Crete and provides an excellent environment for learning the game and for training. The course is a 9-hole par-3, yet the multiple tee design gives every hole two playing options, thus giving the impression of an 18-hole course. The hole lengths range between 55 and 125 meters.
