How We Ranked Greece's Golf Courses
Neither Golf Digest, nor GOLF.com, nor Golf World publishes a ranking for Greece; this ranking is therefore based on a single source, the Greece's ranking on Top100GolfCourses (seven numbered courses, accessed November 10, 2026; undated, it includes courses that opened in 2022). The Corfu Golf Club, listed on the same page without a ranking, is ranked eighth. The LeadingCourses ranking, based on player reviews (2026), also places the three Costa Navarino courses at the top; it is not included in the count. Green fees: rates published by the golf courses, as of November 10, 2026.
