Costa Navarino, Messinia, Greece
The Dunes Course – Costa Navarino
The flagship course at Costa Navarino — The Dunes Course is a dramatic links-inspired layout set among the natural dunes of the Messinia coastline, with sweeping views across the Ionian Sea.
About the Course
The Dunes Course – Costa Navarino
The Dunes Course at Costa Navarino was designed by Bernhard Langer — one of Europe's greatest golfers and a respected golf course designer — and opened in 2010. It is the flagship course at Costa Navarino and is consistently ranked among the finest resort courses in Europe, a dramatic links-inspired layout set among the natural dunes of the Messinia coastline.
The course plays to 6,956 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by the natural dune terrain, the Ionian Sea views, and Langer's masterful routing across the coastal landscape. The design creates a series of visually spectacular and strategically demanding holes that work with the natural terrain — offering views across the Ionian Sea and the Messinia coastline that are among the most beautiful in European golf.
The Dunes Course is part of the Costa Navarino resort — one of the finest luxury golf resorts in Europe. The combination of the world-class golf, the Mediterranean setting, and the exceptional resort infrastructure creates one of the most complete golf and travel experiences in southern Europe.

Why It Stands Out
Bernhard Langer Design
The Dunes Course was designed by Bernhard Langer — one of Europe's greatest golfers and a respected golf course designer. His links-inspired design philosophy creates a course of great natural beauty and strategic depth, working with the dune terrain to create a series of holes of extraordinary visual impact.
Natural Dune Setting
The course is set among the natural dunes of the Messinia coastline — a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty. The dune terrain, the coastal vegetation, and the Ionian Sea views create a golf experience that is completely different from the other courses at Costa Navarino.
Ionian Sea Views
The Dunes Course offers sweeping views across the Ionian Sea and the Messinia coastline that are among the most beautiful in European golf. The combination of the world-class golf and the extraordinary coastal setting creates a visual experience of great distinction.
Resort Flagship
The Dunes Course is the flagship course at Costa Navarino — the course that defines the resort's identity and sets the standard for the entire golf programme. Playing The Dunes Course is the essential Costa Navarino experience.
