GROUND-ONLY · WHERE THE EUROPEAN TOUR PLAYS
Thirteen Belek courses, and the only floodlit golf in Europe.
A short hop down the Mediterranean coast you'll find the Montgomerie's bunkering at Maxx Royal and the pines of Carya at Regnum, host of the Turkish Airlines Open and floodlit for an evening nine. Thirteen courses inside a fifteen-minute drive, with the all-inclusive plate waiting back at the hotel.

Golf holidays in Turkey are really golf holidays in one extraordinary place. Sixteen of the country's twenty-one courses stand together at Belek, on the Mediterranean coast east of Antalya, where the pine forest between the Taurus Mountains and the sea holds designs by Colin Montgomerie, Sir Nick Faldo and Peter Thomson, wrapped in five-star hotels where all-inclusive means exactly that. The DP World Tour has played here, the IAGTO has named it Europe's Best Golf Region, and a British golfer can still do the whole thing, hotel, golf and private transfers, from
Every trip we build is priced around your dates, your group and the courses you want. Tell us those three things and we will send you an itinerary the same day, with flights available as an ATOL-protected add-on whenever you want them.
Turkey's golf is concentrated, which is exactly what makes it work for a week away. Almost everything you will play sits in and around Belek, so the time goes on the course rather than in a coach, and the hotels take care of everything else.
Belek is home to a remarkable density of championship layouts, several from household names. Carya is a floodlit heathland by Thomson, Perrett & Lobb ranked among the world's top hundred; the Montgomerie Maxx Royal staged the Turkish Airlines Open four times; Cornelia's Faldo course offers 27 holes in three loops; the PGA Sultan at Antalya Golf Club is tree-lined and heavily bunkered; Lykia Links is the coast's only true links, by Perry Dye; the National started it all in 1994; and the Gloria Old, New and Verde courses, Sueno's Dunes and Pines, Kaya Palazzo, Robinson Nobilis and Titanic's 36 holes complete the cluster. The full detail, course by course, is in our best golf courses in Belek guide.
Belek's hotels are the other half of the appeal, and most carry their own courses. The Sueno Golf Hotel opens the ladder from
The season runs broadly March to November. April, May, October and November are the prime windows, with settled 20-26°C days and the courses at their best; high summer averages around 35°C, so play at dawn and give the afternoons to the pool. Winters stay mild at 15-18°C, which has quietly made Belek a winter-sun destination in its own right, though December and January carry most of the rain. Our month-by-month guide to Belek weather has the detail.
A sense of Turkey
Between rounds you are in ancient country. The Roman theatre at Aspendos, still staging performances after two millennia, is a short drive from Belek, with the colonnaded ruins of Perge closer still, and Antalya's old quarter of Kaleici winds down through Ottoman lanes to a Roman harbour. Half a day covers any of them.
Turkish tables reward a golfer's appetite: proper breakfasts of olives, cheeses, honey and warm bread; meze and charcoal-grilled fish in the evening; baklava and strong coffee to finish. The top Belek resorts run a dozen restaurants apiece under all-inclusive terms, so a week of dinners never repeats, and a cold Efes after the eighteenth costs nothing further.
The resorts are destinations themselves: hammams and full spas, private beaches, and pools on a scale that keeps non-golfers happier than the golfers. Families have the Land of Legends park beside Belek, boat trips run from Antalya's old harbour, and the Duden waterfalls make an easy afternoon.
No hire car needed. We arrange private, air-conditioned transfers throughout, airport to hotel and hotel to tee, timed to your bookings, with English-speaking drivers and representatives. Within Belek most courses are ten to fifteen minutes from most hotels.
Direct flights reach Antalya from London in about 4 hours 15 minutes, with roughly 77 non-stop departures a week in season, and from Manchester in about 4 hours 30. The airport is 33km from Belek, a thirty-to-forty-minute private transfer. British passports need no visa for up to 90 days in any 180, with 150 days' validity beyond arrival and a blank page. Turkey is two to three hours ahead of the UK; the lira is the currency, though resorts take euros and pounds.

Golf holidays in Turkey start from
Yes — Belek packs several top championship courses within a short transfer, so societies can play a different course each day and stay in one resort.
For golf holidays in Belek, a hire car is not necessary. All our Turkey packages include private transfers between Antalya Airport and your hotel, and most resorts run a complimentary shuttle to partner golf courses. Belek's 20+ courses are clustered within 15km of each other, so your hotel or our transfers cover everything you need. You can step off the plane, check in, and be on the first tee without worrying about driving.
Spring and autumn (March to May, October to November) are most comfortable, and Belek's mild winters make November to March popular too.
Buggies are available at virtually all Belek golf courses and we strongly recommend reserving them in advance, particularly from November to April when courses are busiest. Some resorts include buggies in green fees while others charge separately — typically €20–35 per round. Belek's courses are generally long and the Turkish sun can be intense even in winter months, making a buggy a worthwhile addition. We handle buggy bookings as part of your overall package.
