Turkey golf holidays

Golf holidays in Turkey

Golf holidays in Turkey have become one of the great value breaks in European golf, and for good reason. A short flight from the UK lands you on the Mediterranean coast at Antalya, the gateway to Belek — a purpose-built golf resort town where a dozen championship courses sit within minutes of one another, wrapped around five-star, all-inclusive hotels. For groups, couples and societies chasing reliable sunshine, quality golf and a price that still surprises people, Turkey is hard to beat. Our tailor-made packages start from £549 per person.

Why Turkey for golf

Turkey’s golf is concentrated, which is exactly what makes it work so well for a week away. Almost everything you’ll play sits in and around Belek on the Med coast, so you spend your time on the course rather than in a coach. The resorts are genuinely all-inclusive — food, drinks and most facilities are covered once you arrive — and the standard of the hotels is among the highest of any golf destination in Europe. Add private airport transfers, English-speaking representatives and pine-fringed courses kept in superb condition, and you have a destination built around the golfer.

It also remains outstanding value. The combination of all-inclusive resorts and competitive green fees means an all inclusive golf holiday in Turkey typically delivers more golf, and more comfort, for the money than the established Iberian options.

The courses

Belek is home to a remarkable density of championship layouts, several designed by household names of world golf. Here are some of the courses we feature:

• Carya Golf Club — a striking heathland course designed by Peter Thomson, five-time Open champion, and renowned for its floodlit twilight golf.
• Cornelia Faldo Golf Course — a 27-hole woodland complex designed by Sir Nick Faldo, offering three nine-hole loops.
• Antalya Golf Club – PGA Sultan & Pasha — two contrasting woodland courses, the Sultan laid out by European Golf Design and David Jones.
• National Golf Club Belek — one of the original Belek courses, designed by David Feherty and opened in 1994.
• Lykia Links Antalya — a genuine par-73, 18-hole links by Perry Dye, a rarity on this coast.
• Gloria Old Golf Course — a mature parkland course by Michel Gayon, in play since 1997.
• Titanic Golf Courses — 36 holes of resort golf alongside the Titanic hotels.

Alongside these you’ll find the Montgomerie Maxx Royal, Kaya Palazzo, Sueno’s Dunes and Pines, Gloria’s New course and Robinson Nobilis — thirteen courses in all, the majority within a short transfer of every hotel we offer.

Where you’ll stay

Belek’s hotels are the other half of the appeal. Many are golf resorts in their own right, with courses on the doorstep. Among the five-star, all-inclusive properties we feature are Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort, Gloria Golf Resort, the Cornelia De Luxe Resort, Titanic Deluxe Golf Resort and Sueno Golf Hotel — twelve hotels in total, every one personally inspected by our team.

Best time to play

The Turkish golf season runs broadly from March to November. Spring and autumn bring warm, settled days that are ideal for golf, while the resorts also welcome golfers in the milder winter months, though Belek can turn cold in deep winter. High summer is hot, so many golfers favour the spring and autumn shoulders for the most comfortable conditions on the course.

What’s included and how it works

Every Turkey break is tailor-made around your group. A typical package combines your all-inclusive hotel, a set number of rounds with green fees, and private airport-to-hotel transfers — with golf transfers, buggies and tee times arranged to suit. Our guaranteed service means you’re met at Antalya airport by a Golf Planet Holidays representative, travelled to your hotel in a vehicle exclusive to your group, and accompanied through check-in; the same care applies in reverse on departure, and all our drivers and representatives speak English.

Packages start from £549 per person for golf, accommodation and transfers. Flights are an optional ATOL-protected add-on, so you can book the ground arrangements with us and add flights when it suits, or arrange your own.
