The list of nominees for the 1st annual World Golf Awards, the only global initiative to recognize, reward and celebrate excellence in the golf hospitality industry, includes seven Greek Hotels and golf courses that compete in two different categories.

It should be noted that this initiative is part of World Travel Awards, which is heralded as “the Oscars of the travel industry”.

“We made the decision to launch World Golf Awards in reaction to overwhelming demand from the golf industry for a program that was fair and transparent,“ said Chris Frost, Managing Director of the World Golf Awards.

Awards will be made across a range of categories during the red carpet event, with leading golf tourism destinations competing for titles including Best Golf Resort, Best Golf Course, Best Golf Tour Operator, and Best New Golf Course. The World Golf Awards 2014 event will take place at the Conrad Algarve, Portugal, from November 13th-16th. Take a look at the list of Greek nominees below.
