About Costa Navarino
.jpg){kind=link}
Costa Navarino is a multi-course golf resort in Messinia, in the southwest Peloponnese. The Dunes Course, a par 71 that plays 6,581 yards, anchors the resort. Bernhard Langer designed it with European Golf Design, and it opened in May 2010 as the first signature golf course in Greece. Wide fairways, undulating greens and pot bunkers give the links-style layout its character, while olive groves add an inland feel. The Navarino Golf Academy and a pro shop sit alongside it.
- The Bay Course, by Robert Trent Jones II, opened in 2011 and plays through seaside, canyon and grove landscapes.
- Two holes on the Bay Course run directly beside the bay.
- Jose Maria Olazabal designed both the Hills Course and the International Olympic Academy course.
- The Westin and The Romanos are on the property, so golfers can stay on site.
