Three courses.
Three architects.
The Bay opens the week. The Dunes tests it. The International Olympic Academy course closes it — with views over the bay where the pro-am began.
The Bay Course
A Robert Trent Jones Jr. seaside design tracing the Ionian shoreline. Half the holes touch the water; every tee shot frames the bay. The course where the pro-am opens.
The Dunes Course
Bernhard Langer’s links-inspired routing through olive groves and rolling dunes. Strategic, unforgiving in the wind, and unforgettable on a clear day.
The International Olympic Academy Course
José María Olazábal’s mountain layout — elevated tees, dramatic turns, sweeping views over the Bay of Navarino and the surrounding olive country.
The Romanos.
