Belek is where British golfers discover what all-inclusive really means. Fourteen championship courses share one pine-backed strip of Mediterranean coast, the hotels are vast five-star resorts where dinner and the bar are already paid for, and the season runs right through the British winter. This is our working guide to the breaks we actually price, with the courses, the hotels and the honest numbers.
Why Belek works
Nowhere else we sell puts this much championship golf inside one transfer. Antalya airport is about half an hour from the first tee, the courses sit minutes apart along the same road, and the all-inclusive board means a group can settle the whole trip before leaving home. No bar bill on checkout, no green-fee surprises, no taxi maths. It is the simplest golf trip in Europe to run for a group, which is why organisers come back to it year after year.
The one honest caveat: most of Belek rides in buggies, and in the resort heat that is no bad thing. Carya is the notable exception, gently undulating and genuinely walkable among the pines.
The courses that decide the trip
Carya is the modern flagship, a heathland-style course that would not look out of place in Surrey, and our ranking of the whole strip is in the best golf courses in Belek guide. The Montgomerie Maxx Royal carries Colin Montgomerie’s name and a stadium finish. Cornelia’s Faldo course weaves Nick Faldo’s design through the dunes and pines.
The Gloria Old and Gloria New courses give the Gloria estate a full 36 holes of mature parkland. Lykia Links is the change of pace: an exposed Perry Dye links running along the sea east of the main strip, towards Side. And the National, Belek’s original championship course, remains a favourite of golfers who like their fairways framed by forest.

The all-inclusive maths
Here is why Turkey undercuts trips that look cheaper on paper. Lykia packages five nights all-inclusive with three rounds from
Every one of those prices includes green fees, transfers, and all-inclusive food and drink. Price a comparable Iberian week and add your bar and restaurant spend, and Belek stops looking expensive. Flights are the only extra, and they are ATOL protected whenever we arrange them.

When to go
The season is the mirror of Britain’s. October to April is prime time: warm, settled days, courses in tournament condition, and the resorts full of golfers rather than beach traffic. May and September bracket the season nicely. High summer is for early tee times and the pool; if July and August are your only window, we will say so and plan around the heat rather than pretend it away.
Getting there and how it works
Antalya is served by direct flights from most UK airports for much of the year, with a flight time around four and a half hours. Our packages are ground-only, with green fees, transfers and all-inclusive board arranged; where we add flights they are ATOL protected. Tell us your dates and your group size, and a specialist prices the ladder above against live availability. The wider destination picture is on our Turkey golf holidays page.

Frequently asked questions
Is all-inclusive worth it for a golf break in Turkey?
In Belek it is the standard, and it genuinely changes the cost of the trip. Green fees, transfers, meals and drinks are all inside the package price, so the number we quote is close to the number you spend. For groups it removes the bill-splitting entirely.
When is the best time for a Turkey golf break?
October to April. The courses are at their best, the temperatures suit 18 holes, and the value is strongest outside school holidays. High summer in Belek is very hot; if you must travel then, we plan early tee times.
Do you need a buggy in Belek?
Mostly you will want one, and on several courses they are effectively part of the round. Carya is the walkable exception. We confirm buggy arrangements course by course when we price your trip, so there are no surprises on the day.
How far are the Belek courses from the airport?
About half an hour. Antalya airport sits just east of the city and the Belek strip is about 35 kilometres beyond it, with the courses minutes apart once you arrive. We include all transfers in the package.
