HOLE 8: PAR-4, 290 METRES APHRODITE HILLS, CYPRUS

This is the shortest par-4 on the front nine of Aphrodite Hills as well as the hole closest to the sea, and the vista from the elevated tee out over the water is magnificent. The green, slightly raised above the two-tiered fairway, is cleanbacked so as not to mar the view. Westerly breezes, not so noticeable in the protected fairway, will tend to push approach shots into trouble down on the left – and a knock-down short iron may be the safest approach shot to this medium-sized green. +357 26 82 8000; www.aphroditehills.com
