good climate for golfers
Cyprus as an island offers an ideal climate for golfers. North Cyprus Golf with over 340 days of sunshine per year with long, dry summers and much warmer winters than in the rest of Europe, offers, tens of thousands of golf tourists to flock to Cyprus each year solely to pursue the quest for the ultimate golf experience in the sun. The low tourist season of November onwards is ideal for golfers and with more and more low-cost airlines offering cheap flights to either Larnaca or Ercan airports in the winter months, as well as hotels offering out of season discounts, it is easy to see why Cyprus is so popular for golfers.
CMC Golf course
However, it is a little-known fact the oldest and original North Cyprus Golf course of Cyprus, the CMC Golf Course in Yesilyurt, close to Lefke on the West Coast of North Cyprus, is actually the original ex-pat North Cyprus Golf course of Cyprus. Originally created for the ex-pat employees of the Cyprus Mining Corporation who were living there to extract the valuable copper and gold deposits in the nearby mountains, it is now a charming 9 hole course with the lovely green stretching down to the waterfront and with fabulous views of the Troodos Mountains to the south.
