Korineum Golf & Beach Resort

Korineum Golf & Beach Resort is located in Esentepe, east of Kyrenia. It is the largest golf complex in Northern Cyprus and the main destination for those who want to play on a full 18-hole course.

The Korineum course has 18 holes and a Par 72. It is located between the Mediterranean coast and the Beşparmak mountain range. The natural terrain, changes in elevation, trees, and vegetation are incorporated into the course layout, so different holes require different playing strategies.

Not only hotel guests can play. Outside visitors can also book a tee time — the starting time of a round. Both 18-hole and 9-hole games are available.

For those who arrive without their own equipment, club and trolley rental is available. The complex also has a Golf Academy, where you can take a private lesson or complete a course of lessons.

Korineum Golf Prices

Korineum uses a seasonal green fee system: the cost of one round depends on the time of year and the number of holes. The following rates have been published for 2026.

Therefore, in September 2026, the cost of an 18-hole round is 90 EUR until 12 September and 125 EUR from 13 September. For 9 holes, the prices are 50 EUR and 65 EUR respectively.

Equipment Rental and Additional Costs

You do not need your own set of clubs to visit Korineum. TaylorMade club sets, buggies, and golf trolleys can be rented on site.

If you are planning to play as a group and need several club sets or buggies, it is best to confirm equipment availability at the same time as booking the tee time.

Golf Academy and Lesson Prices

Korineum is also suitable for those who have never played golf before. The complex has a Golf Academy offering private lessons for adults and juniors.

You can start with a 30- or 60-minute lesson. Those who want to train systematically can choose packages covering several hours.

Academy Course Practice Area

For training and first independent attempts, the academy has a separate 3-hole Academy Course practice area. It allows you to try playing in a simpler format without buying a green fee for the main 18-hole course.

This format is convenient for a first introduction to golf: you can take a lesson with an instructor, practise, and only then decide whether you need a full round on the main course.

CMC Golf Club in Yeşilyurt

CMC Golf Club is located in Yeşilyurt, in the Lefke area in the west of Northern Cyprus. It is an operating golf club with regular games and tournaments.

The history of the course is connected with Cyprus Mines Corporation, which operated in the Lefke area in the 20th century. The golf course was established as part of the company's sports and social infrastructure for its employees and later continued to exist as an independent club.

In terms of its format, CMC differs noticeably from Korineum. There is no large golf resort with a hotel and Golf Academy here; it is a more traditional club focused primarily on playing and club competitions.

CMC has a 9-hole course layout. For a full 18-hole round, the course is played twice. Club tournaments are also held here in the 18-hole format.

Before visiting CMC as a guest, it is worth contacting the club to confirm the green fee, available playing times, and whether the necessary rental equipment is available.

Which Course to Choose

If you want to try golf for the first time or have arrived in Northern Cyprus without your own equipment, Korineum is more convenient. You can rent clubs, book a private lesson, practise on the Academy Course, and then move on to the main course.

For experienced players, Korineum offers a full Par 72 course with 18 holes, the option to play a shortened 9-hole round, and additional equipment.

CMC Golf Club is suitable for those interested in a more traditional club format and playing in the west of Northern Cyprus. Tournaments are held regularly, but guest access conditions should be confirmed directly with the club in advance.
