The Bay opens the week. The Dunes tests it. The International Olympic Academy course closes it — with views over the bay where the pro-am began.
Course 01
Costa Navarino · Messinia
A Robert Trent Jones Jr. seaside design tracing the Ionian shoreline. Half the holes touch the water; every tee shot frames the bay. The course where the pro-am opens.
