Remodelling of the Secret Valley golf course will be undertaken by Tony Jacklin
In an press-release some time ago, it was announced that British golfing legend Tony Jacklin would carry out the re-design of the Secret Valley golf course, turning it from a capable 18-hole venue into a spectacular 36-hole golfing tour de force.
Starting with the clubhouse, which has already undergone a major rebuild at a cost well in excess of two million Euros, Secret Valley is set to be become an international standard golfing resort rivalling the likes of La Manga in Spain or Vale dos Lobos in Portugal. |

A Boastful Plan?
Although this is a bold claim, and one already made unsuccessfully by a number of proposed Mediterranean golf resorts, this particular project not only has practically unlimited financial backing, but also the support of both the Cypriot government, who are determined to put the Republic onto the international golfing map, and the PGA, who are currently in the process of issuing the second licence needed for the venue to join the European Tour.
So what exactly makes the Secret Valley Golf Course and Country Club stand out from the many other resorts springing up around the Mediterranean? |
To begin with, the Secret Valley golf resort is set in a spectacular coastal location
The resort’s fabulous location in the coastal hills between the town of Pissouri and the village of Kouklia, which afford some truly spectacular views of the sea and the mountains further inland, give this ambitious project an excellent start in life. But of course, an outstanding view alone is not enough to make the difference between this venue and the many other contenders on the Mediterranean golfing circuit. This is why the Secret Valley golf course's remodelling is being carried out in a thoughtful and unhurried fashion by one of the golfing greats.
With the planning stages now all but complete, what will eventually emerge at this resort is nothing short of utterly spectacular. Rather than confine itself to the, albeit scenic valley, a new championship standard golf course is to be constructed in the hills above the original course. Already earmarked for the PGA’s European Tour, its location has been specifically chosen to provide players with the finest possible views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Troodos Mountains in the island’s interior.
In addition, the original course will be completely remodelled, while another 18-hole course is to be constructed alongside it. A third par-3 course and a 9-hole pitch and putt course will round off the resort’s golfing venues alongside new driving ranges, practice greens and a golf academy with pro-shop and resident professionals.
But it’s not just about the beautiful game at Secret Valley. Golf courses are only the beginning for this amazing resort, and what makes it truly spectacular are the many other amenities to be built alongside its golfing facilities.
Secret Valley's coastal stretches will be the home to a sports centre of truly magnificent proportions, including football and tennis academies. Only a few yards inland, nestled into the coastal hills a fully fledged retail complex is set to provide visitors and residents with goods of every description, whereas accommodation is provided by the neighbouring five star hotel set into a location which affords some truly majestic views of the sea.=
The resort’s crowning glory however, is the 500 metre long man-made beach to be constructed along its coastal front. Complemented by a leisure complex including bars, tavernas, restaurants and every conceivable water sports facility from diving to wind surfing, this stretch of coast will be a playground for residents and visitors alike.
Cyprus is of course home to a number of golf courses, both existing and in the planning stages; there is however nothing on the island, or indeed anywhere in the region, which can even begin to rival the scope and grandeur of the Secret Valley Golf Course and its five-star resort, once they are complete.
