Korineum Golf & Country Club has been a natural golf paradise since its opening in April 2007, when it became the first 18-hole course to be designed and constructed in the northern part of Cyprus.

The 18-hole championship course plays as a Par 72, and measures out at more than 6,800 yards from the tips. Thanks to the design of Hemstock and Harradine, golfers can enjoy views of both the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea from all parts of the golf course. There are strategically placed bunkers throughout the property, while five tees on each hole allow for golfers to play however they feel comfortable at Korineum.

The 5th hole is the signature hole at Korineum. Named ‘Vertigo’, it has a 250-yard carry to the fairway from the back tees, but it plays severely downhill. Meanwhile the par-3 11th is 180 yards, but it is all over a ravine. Water comes into play on 16, with a lake to the right of the green on this par-4, before the final two holes of this stunning golf course.

The Korineum Resort is also the home to the Korineum Golf & Tennis Academy. The Academy has a 300 metre long driving range which has 34 bays, along with a large grass teeing area as well. There are also two putting greens and a chipping green in the short game area. 

This area also has an additional green for bunker practice as well. Korineum also has its own Academy Course. It is a three-hole course, with a par-3, par-4 and par-5, and can be played on for warming up regardless of handicap status.
