Messinia, Greece
The Hills Course
The third championship course at Costa Navarino, climbing through the Messinian hills with elevated panoramas over the Ionian coastline.
Course overview
The Hills Course is Costa Navarino's third championship layout, set on the higher ground above the resort with sweeping views across the Peloponnese hills and out to the Ionian Sea. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II — the same architect responsible for The Dunes Course — the 18-hole design takes full advantage of the elevated terrain, with several tees and greens positioned to maximise the dramatic coastal panorama. The course incorporates the natural topography of the Messinian hills, with changes in elevation adding tactical variety to each hole.
