Costa Navarino, located in Greece, has been ranked the best golf resort in Europe for 2025, according to Leading Courses’ annual list. Known for its stunning Mediterranean views, luxury accommodations, and world-class golf facilities, the resort continues to lead the way in offering an exceptional golfing experience.
How the Rankings are Determined
The “Europe’s Best Golf Resorts” ranking is based on a unique methodology. It combines reviews from two sources: 50% of the score comes from ratings on LeadingCourses.com, and 50% is based on customer feedback from Booking.com. Only resorts listed on Booking.com are eligible for this ranking, which means some top golf destinations are not included.
A key factor in determining the rankings is the number of golf courses at each resort. Resorts with multiple courses earn extra points, as having different layouts enhances the overall golfing experience. If two resorts score equally, the quality of their golf courses is used as a tie-breaker.
