If you’re already planning your next golf trip, the Aphrodite Hills Team Cup could be the perfect excuse to head to the Mediterranean.

Cyprus has become a hotspot for golfers jetting off for some summer golf over recent years. It’s a place that isn’t shy of championship golf courses. The PGA National Cyprus at Aphrodite Hills possibly stands-out as one of the finer tracks on the island.

If you are looking for some golf holiday inspiration this year, then you can do a lot worse than combining competitive golf with a luxury escape.

Taking place from September 16-20, the annual event will once again welcome golfers from across Europe. The experience offers the chance to compete in a unique team competition as well as experiencing everything a five-star resort has to offer.

The tournament is designed to blend competitive golf with a social atmosphere. Players can enjoy championship golf, first-class practice facilities, hospitality events and accommodation packages throughout the week.

Whether entering as an established fourball or signing up individually to be placed into a team, the event is open to both amateurs and professionals alike. 

Played on the widely regarded PGA National Cyprus course, golfers will be met with stunning scenery. Designed by renowned architect Cabell B. Robinson, the par-71 championship layout stretches across a dramatic plateau overlooking the sea.

Beyond the competition itself, participants will have the chance to make full use of the resort’s extensive facilities. Aphrodite Hills is home to luxury accommodation, a golf academy, spa, restaurants, tennis and padel courts, fitness facilities and a host of other leisure experiences.

Golfers planning to take part can also take advantage of specially created stay-and-play packages. Visitors have a choice of staying in the hotel, a private apartment or premium serviced apartment, should they wish to remain on site.

Max Mcvittie

A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.

Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.

Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.

Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.

With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
