A round of golf at Minthis Hills

An active golf club with plenty of opportunities for competitive golf is very important for players and Cyprus golf alike and at Minthis Hills (www.minthishills.com), we hold regular competitions.  Yesterday, 19^th September was a Texas Scramble Competition and we are very pleased to announce the winners:

Winners      J. Holland           B. Martin          M. Holland        64.9

2^nd                  J. McBeth           D. Griffiths        L. Jones             65.1

3^rd                   M. Anderton     Graham Lee     Pat Copp            65.3

A Texas Scramble is a variation of a scramble, which involves teams of 4 people playing four balls, with each shot coming from the same spot.  The best of the four drives is chosen from which the four team members then hit from that spot.  With a Texas Scramble, at least four drives of each member of the team must be used during the course of the round, allowing even the weakest driver on the team to play a key role.

We’d like to thank everyone for taking part and to congratulate the winners!

A year round destination for golf, Cyprus is experiencing a beautiful September, which will allow you to combine the best of two worlds – golf and relaxing in the sun.  In September, it is hot, but not too hot, so you can indulge in your favourite sport at Minthis Hills (www.minthishills.com), stretch out on the beach, swim in the sparkling blue sea, eat at your favourite restaurant al fresco and enjoy a romantic glass of champagne on a balcony watching the sun set.  And later on, you will see thousands of stars in the sky, shining brighter and more clearly than you usually see back home.

Villa Harmonia, just one of the stunning villa designs at Minthis Hills

Minthis Hills is well on the way to becoming a top flight golf course with all the upgrades that have been done and the golf properties that are available have already been awarded No 1 in Europe for architecture.  These designs by Woods Bagot,stand out from the crowd and have all the small luxurious touches you would expect from what is a very exclusive resort.

Cyprus property is gaining new momentum and Minthis Hills (www.minthishills.com) is making good progress.  The golf course has undergone many improvements and we hope it is making the course even more enjoyable to play.  Its height of 560m above sea level also makes it more pleasant during the Summer months and sometimes it feels like you could quite literally touch the sky.

It must have been quite hot, but I believe there was a bit of a breeze as well, which helped , as well as the height above sea level.

Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who took part, we look forward to seeing you at the next competition.  Good luck!

Minthis Hills Golf Club is very busy and sociable.  There are plenty of tournaments throughout the year to pit your skills against your fellow members and then relax in the clubhouse afterwards.  We haven’t announced the results for a while, so below you will find the winners of the last few competitions.  We’d like to thank them for taking part and hope they enjoyed themselves.
