The "San Domenico Golf" course lies between the ancient Greek colony (5th century B.C.) of Egnathia and the small fisherman village of Savelletri, with its southern boundary as close to the sea as the road and rocky coastline will allow. To the north are the olive groves and agricultural fields the site was once part of. The formerly flat and featureless land is now a challenging 18 hole golf course which offers an unforgettable experience for visitors and superb view of the Adriatic Sea from every tee, green and fairway. Designed by "European Golf Design", the course measures over 6220 meters (6677 yards), has a par of 72 and has been constructed to the highest standards, with greens conforming to USGA Specifications. As is to be expected of a golf course so close to the sea, wind can play a significant role in the challenge of the course. Together with strategic bunkering, definitive fairway shaping and clever green design, a thought provoking test of golf has been set. This is complemented by incorporating local plants into the design of the course, which can be seen occupying great waste areas weaving their way in and around the golf holes. These are areas where local rock has been left in place, having first been crushed to a granular material and re-contoured to become part of the species common to this region, thereby ensuring that the golf course retains a local identity.
