Europe’s Golfing Gold

With the Ryder Cup being held in Italy next year for the first time, golf has been brought even more to the forefront in Europe, Abode2 explores some prime real estate that has access to some of the best and new golf courses across Europe

Kilada Country Club, Golf and Residences, Greece

Kilada, named after the local fishing village, is a place of complete seclusion, yet a short way from Porto Heli and the Greek Riviera. Only a 25-minute helicopter ride from Athens International Airport, or a scenic 2 hour coastal drive, offers the best of both worlds for those in the know.

The 235-hectare development is set to open in summer 2023 and features a private Country Club, private residences and showpiece Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the only one in the country. The Champion Golf Course is 18 holes, par 72 whose greens are set in the rolling hillside and fairways through the ancient olive groves.

Buyers are able to choose a plot for their villa and come with the option of Platinum or Founders membership, offering the highest level of privileges for the Gold and Country Club.

The signature villa draws from the rich architectural traditions of Spetses and Argolida, interpreting them in a distinctly modern home. With large sky frame floor to ceiling windows afford beautiful vistas to the South and to the arrears open up to the central private pool court.

Castelfalfi, Itally

Set deep in the rolling hills of Tuscany, equidistant between Florence and Pisa is Castelfalfi, an ancient Etruscan Estate that last year was brought under new ownership, with the aim of returning it to its roots. Plots of land are available for purchase, or alternatively, buyers have the chance to purchase one of the old farmhouses on the estate and renovate them.

Castelfalfi is home to Tuscany's largest golf course, which is 27 holes and was designed by award winning architectural duo - Italy’s Wilfried Moroder and Germany’s Rainer Preißmann - to make the most of the area's natural topography and existing vegetation. The 18-hole mountain course is one of the most challenging in Italy and attracts expert players globally. The course also has a clubhouse, driving range and has been awarded the coveted GEO CertifiedTM recognition, an international co-certification synonymous with quality sport around the world.
