Designed to respond to its coastal setting and natural terrain, Limassol Greens is a new golf destination in Cyprus. Developed and managed by Lanitis Golf Public – a company jointly owned by the Lanitis Group, one of Cyprus’s most established conglomerates, and a Maltese consortium led by Alf Mizzi & Sons – the project began construction in 2021 following a masterplan by American multinational infrastructure firm Aecom and includes an 18-hole golf course designed by architect Cabell Robinson. The resort is situated on a former citrus plantation, part of the Lanitis family’s land in the Fasouri area of Limassol. It is gently rolling terrain, interspersed with mature trees, open fields and natural bodies of water. The golf course opened for play in December 2025, as residents began moving into the resort’s villas and apartments. Robinson’s layout has been created with an emphasis on preserving key natural features. “Sustainability was a guiding principle in the course’s design,” says Andrew Darker, the resort’s general manager. “Native vegetation has been preserved wherever possible, and water management systems have been implemented to optimise irrigation efficiency and minimise environmental impact. The overall development includes the planting of more than 30,000 trees, enhancing the natural landscape, promoting biodiversity and strengthening its environmental footprint.” Robinson worked closely with the team from golf construction firm ProGolf throughout the project, making A course defined by its setting Cabell Robinson designs a blend of parkland and links holes for the newly open Limassol Greens in Cyprus.
