Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Guests praise the course, the quiet and the breakfast. It is a golf hotel first: the beach is a drive away and the hills are dry and open rather than green.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 53 hotels we list on Crete is 9.1.
- The hotel sits at The Crete Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course, so golfers can be on the first tee shortly after breakfast.
- This small hotel stands on open hillside above Hersonissos, away from the busy coastal strip, with balconies looking out over the hills and the sea.
- The nearest beaches are down on the coast at Hersonissos, so a day by the sea means taking the car or a taxi.
- Facilities centre on the golf course, the pool, the gym and the restaurant, so guests after a full resort programme with many restaurants and entertainment will find less here.

Reviews from Google“A fantastic golfing experience at Crete Golf Club. The course is beautifully maintained (though some people decide not to fix their divots!!!!) and surrounded by stunning scenery, making the whole round really enjoyable. Played the back 9. The caddy was great! The rental clubs, taylormade, were also very good quality, which was a pleasant surprise. After the round, the clubhouse restaurant was a great place to relax, with a nice atmosphere and good food. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Crete!”
“Beautiful course! We played on a day when it wasn’t very windy, so the conditions were perfect. I thought the course would be really difficult, but it wasn’t too bad. All four of us had a great time, despite having very different HCPs. We had a buggy, and I’d definitely recommend getting one since there’s quite a bit of uphill and downhill. Hole 18 is right by the restaurant and looks absolutely stunning. Remember to buy a lot of golf balls, once they're out - they are gone. Would definitely come back!”
“What an incredible experience from start to finish. The hospitality at Crete Golf Club was absolutely first class – every member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome and couldn't do enough to help. The course itself is stunning. It's beautifully maintained, with spectacular scenery and a fantastic layout that makes every hole enjoyable. Without doubt one of the most picturesque courses I've had the pleasure of playing. A special thank you for being so accommodating with my wife, who is six months pregnant. They were more than happy for her to join me during my round, and kindly allowed her to wear comfortable clothing rather than golf attire, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable for us both. It's those thoughtful touches that really set a golf club apart. Thank you to everyone at Crete Golf Club for making our visit so memorable. We can't wait to return on our next trip to Crete!”
“I had my first solo holiday here and honestly couldn’t have had a better experience! Beautiful clean rooms, peaceful pool area - not busy at all ! I didn’t travel anywhere and stayed purely in the hotel, so can’t comment on the location to other places, you can see the water park from the pool so assuming it’s not too far ! Only a 25 minutes drive from the airport! The staff were amazing, Rania served me dinner and lunch and couldn’t have asked for better service - super friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful experience”
“We visited The Crete Golf Club for a quick round and lunch, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. The service was efficient and friendly, and we were able to complete all the formalities quickly without any hassle. The golf course itself was very well maintained and nicely taken care of. It has several really interesting holes, including a memorable par 3 over a gorge and a few fun doglegs, which made the round more enjoyable. The clubhouse food was typical for this kind of place — nothing extraordinary, but perfectly fine after a round of golf. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth visiting if you are looking for a quick round in Crete. The only downside we noticed was that, on the day we played, the driving range was not available due to an event. Apart from that, everything was really good.”
