The Bay Course

The Bay Course opened in October 2011 next to the historic Bay of Navarino, just a few minutes from Navarino Dunes. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, it measures 5,614 metres from the back tees, a little shorter than the Dunes Course, and it puts the emphasis on strategy and shot placement rather than length. Most tees enjoy views of the sea.

The 18 holes pass through three very different natural landscapes. The Seaside holes look over the bay, with four greens facing the water. The Canyon holes head inland, with elevated tees playing into natural box canyons. The Grove holes are framed by more than 1,000 mature olive trees, some over 500 years old, which were saved and replanted around the edges of the course during construction.

The 7th is considered the toughest hole, while the 17th, which runs along the bay, is the signature hole of the course. The 8th is only just over 100 metres from the back tees. A free shuttle links the Bay with the Dunes Course.
