The Signature seaside Bay Course at Navarino Bay is an 18-hole, par-71 golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II. Most tees offer sublime sea views, with holes playing along the historic Bay of Navarino or meandering through three distinct natural landscapes. The Seaside, Canyon, and Grove holes provide striking contrasts, creating a dramatic and memorable golfing experience.
The earth-sheltered clubhouse, offering breath-taking views, is set amid lush olive groves overlooking the historic bay. With a premium location within the course, the building is uniquely designed as one of the first-ever earth-sheltered clubhouses, ensuring it blends harmoniously into the natural landscape. Almost invisible to the eye, The Bay Clubhouse is cleverly sculpted into the natural contours by Coopers Hill, revealing its dynamic and innovative design only upon arrival at the entrance.
Aligned with Costa Navarino’s sustainability principles, the design follows the doctrine of bioclimatic architecture. It features planted roofs with a total of 27,500 plants and trees around the clubhouse and on its rooftop, as well as materials and systems that maximise energy efficiency.
