Great layout of a course. You need to be accurate because the other fairways run along each other so you will either be on a another fairway or someone on yours

Poor conditions

The course overall is in bad shape. The tee boxes are brutal, some of the greens don’t have any grass, and on top of that you have no clue how far away you are because some trees don’t have the yardages on them. The staff was friendly and some of the fairways were in decent condition, but that’s about it. There are plenty of better courses nearby for the money.

Very nice course overall.

The only improvements I would like to see would be some of the bare areas around the greens patched a little better, and if there was better signage for directing to the next hole. There are a lot of streets to cross and the layout can get a little confusing.

Overall, an excellent value for the price. If either of those two minor complaints were fixed, this would be a 5 star course imo.

Very good pace of play.

Friendly staff.

Great price.

Fairly well maintained.

Beautiful area of Crete to play in.

Course layout is a little confusing, but with a map, not a problem at all.

Definitely well worth the money.

Need a ranger

Pace of play was very slow, the groups in front of us were very slow. Spent time talking instead of hitting their ball. They let their friends play through and we had to wait. 5 hour is to long for a round. We tied off 30 minutes late because one of the players in the group in front of us was not there, then had to get his cart and finally tied off, they were with a " traveling league" of some kind.
