Robert Trent Jones Jr. commented "The Bay Course is sculpted out of the earth and rock of Greek soil, much like the marble statues of the ancients. Those deities were noble and graceful, and the golf course now reflects the same sense of beauty. This golf experience will last the test of time, to be loved and enjoyed through all the senses by those who come to play the golf course".
The Dunes Course ventures into olive groves and along a small river, whilst links-style features add to its unique playability.
Much of the contouring mirrors the rugged outlines of the distant mountains. Close to the south, there is a links-like feel with tall dunes separating the holes and steep faced bunkers; further inland, it reflects a more typically Greek landscape of olive and citrus groves, and there are large undulating greens and wide fairways.
