PGA managed golf course at Tersefanou
 
The recent announcement that work on the new PGA managed golf course at Tersefanou will begin early next year was welcomed enthusiastically by all involved in the project. Addressing the issue of adequate water supply needed to keep the course in the best condition all year round by building of a dedicated desalination plant the final piece in the planning puzzle appears to have been placed. Interest in the resort, which will include a five star spa and other sports facilities is already high as is demand for the magnificent developments that will line the course. Golfers are already flocking to Cyprus on a regular basis to take advantage of the excellent existing courses which allow them to play throughout the year. And with 11 more courses expected in the near future the island is set to become golfers paradise. As those who have already visited will testify, Cyprus is an exceptional tourist destination, offering five-star luxury and fabulous cuisine. The island is also rich in history, redolent with mythology and with a stunning coastline. The decision to add top quality golf resorts has been warmly received by its regular visitors, and eagerly anticipated by the residents. The Cyprus Golf Federation (CGF) was established in 2000 with the objective of promoting and managing golf on the island. The CGF adheres to the Council of National Golf Unions (CONGU) Unified Handicap scheme. If you have a valid handicap certificate from a CONGU, EGA or USGA affiliated club, then that certificate will be accepted by a Cyprus affiliate of the CGF. If you have no handicap, or no valid handicap certificate, you will need to play for a card. Presently Paphos is the closest city to the established courses, which already boast some breath-taking holes, but the course at Tersefanou near Larnaca, is tipped to eclipse them all.
Picturesque Tersefanou has grown up around an elevated plateaux in the outer district of Larnaca and offers sea and mountain views. The area has already witnessed extensive development and offers all the amenities you could wish for. And at just a 10-minute drive to the beaches of of Kiti and Pervolia, and only 15 minutes from Larnaca airport and town centre it’s location is perfect. Besides playing golf the area also offers an array of other activities that will appeal to al the family. Within the resort there will be the PGA’s national golf academy as well as a tennis academy and a football academy and an opportunity to go pony trekking. If you fancy venturing slightly further you can explore the many vineyards and sample local wines, or visit any number of historic sites. And if you still have the energy why not try a bit of retail therapy in the shopping districts. However, if all that seems like too much effort there is always the option of just lazing in the sunshine and unwinding. Cyprus will soon boast it’s first PGA managed golf course at Tersefanou and it is set to become the jewell in the crown of the island’s growing reputation as a golfers paradise Getting closer.
