Faldo design
This was round 2 of a 5 round holiday to Cyprus, and the only time we played this Faldo designed course. If you know some of his courses, this is very similar, with long holes and greens protected by bunkers, of which there are many. Unfortunately for us, a thunderstorm a couple of days before we arrived washed out all the bunkers, which will take the greenkeepers quite some time to rectify. For our round therefore, were were told the bunkers were ALL GUR. One of the few rounds where I didn't go in any, but this never detracts from a round of golf for me! The tees, fairways and greens were as expected, and in great condition considering the storm that had passed through.We were told that the club wanted to get rid of the 17th (a very awkward hole with a long carry from fairway to green), but Faldo had told them his name would have to be removed if they changed the course!
The clubhouse is built into the side of a hill, so after the round we had a pleasant beer on the large terrace. I managed the course with an electric trolley, and it seemed reasonably walkable, although the finishing walk was quite steep.

Challenging finish
Elea is a lovely course and good condition. Challenging tee shots but quite open. Bunkers everywhere, big greens and different to the other 3 main courses in the Paphos area.Reviewer Rating

Challening, esp for the higher handicapper
Overlooking Paphos airport in the distance, great views. This is a tough unforgiving course which if you do not get off the tee, chances are you will not find your ball. you need to play it twice or go round with someone who has played before as some of the holes are deceiving. It was blowing a gale when we played but generally ok. Worth a visit.Reviewer Rating

Bunkers everywhere
Worth playing once, but is expensive when compared to other courses in this price range.Course is in reasonable condition, but the bunkers, which are very abundant around the course are more like waste areas with little sand and lots of stones.
If you are single or 2 ball, you are likely to get paired up to make a 4-ball.
Took 4:40 hrs, but slowed down by those we were paired with who seemed to lose a ball on every hole.
Not always easy to see where the green was on tee shots, but fairways were easy enough to identify.
Greens were good and reasonable speed and with a mix of undulations and some subtle borrows. But the number of bunkers and their size can detract from the experience.
Played in strong winds and made the course challenging.
You will need to reserve a buggy, but course is walkable, and they have plenty of trolleys.
Glad I played and would recommend, but wouldn't rush back as there are better value courses.

Great course, Great staff
The course is of a high standard with a few exceptions on the greens.It is picturesque and typically for a Faldo designed course it has numerous bunkers.
The last three holes are particularly testing at the end of the round.
The staff are exceptional- always willing to assist.

Elea is finest course in pathos ot is a very testing course with wickedly fast greens sometimes up to 15 on stimpmeter, beautiful condition and stunning club house however it is probably a course that is very difficult for higher handicap golfers .

To me this Nick Faldo designed course is the best on Cyprus, a difficult and technical course but that's what playing golf should be about. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are kept in excellent shape by the green keepers, the clip shop team are excellent and very helpful, this also goes for the caddy guys aswell.
