This article is specifically our opinions about the best golf courses in Belek, but feel free to share your opinions about our list as well. Enjoy!
Carya Golf Course
This golf course is outstanding for so many reasons both on and off of the course. Even before you step out on the course it has a luxury resort on the property that you can stay at. It also includes a golf academy and professional club fitting area if you are simply trying to start your golf career at this location. However, the thing that makes this golf course stand out above the rest is the fact that you can play it at night, because the entire golf course is lit up by floodlights. This golf course is considered to be one of the first fully lit golf course in all of Europe which attracts golfers far and wide.
Cornelia Faldo Golf Course
Next up on our list we have the Cornelia Faldo Golf Course which is a championship designed course by none other than Sir Nick Faldo himself. This course gives players the ultimate challenge while taking them through arguably the greatest landscape in all of Turkey. This course is also great as it has the Mediterranean Sea just off in the distance of the course which helps keep the area cool during the summer. There is also a forest that helps give the course a menacing look while adding extra difficulty for players. It is a perfect mix of challenging golf and great looks that keeps players coming back time after time. To be clear, this golf course is a 27 hole course rather than the standard 18 holes which gives you even more reason to play it!
Gloria New Golf Course
This golf course is one of the newer ones in the area but it is just as nice if not better than its counterparts. Besides the course itself, what makes the whole thing great is the outstanding practice facility. This includes a two tier driving range made up of 48 total bays, with five putting greens available to all players allowing everyone their own space to improve their game. On top of these five putting greens the course has six chipping arenas and three practice greens surrounded by bunkers for people to work on their short game. With the amount of practice that you will get in on this course, it is certain to be one of your favorites at the end of your experience.
Lykia Links Golf Course
The Lykia Links Golf Course is one of the best golf courses in all of Turkey, let alone Belek, due to the high quality and overall beauty of the course. It is located on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea which makes it a links course and also maintains a warmer climate. It is basically the Turkish version of Pebble Beach Golf Course in the United States, which is widely known as one of the best in the sport. What also makes the course great is its design that makes great use of the rolling land and large amount of sand that is available due to its location. Even if you are not the best golfer in the world, it is hard to be upset here as it is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the entire world.
Montgomerie Maxx Royal Golf Course
We had to mention this golf course on our list since they hold the annual Turkish Airlines Open which attracts many professional golfers worldwide. Besides the pros, you will enjoy this course due to its beauty and challenging design. With trees lining the entire course it is almost like a Turkish version of Augusta National Golf Course which is also widely considered one of the best in the world. With the extra challenge of the trees you must always play smart tee shots which only makes for even more fun. We highly suggest that you play this course if you ever get the chance.
PGA Sultan Golf Course
The PGA Sultan Golf Course has a beautiful scenic background and is also home to the Turkish PGA. Many golfers take great pride in playing on this course because it is definitely not an easy course to play on. It may look easy to some but once you step onto those greens it is a whole different story. Many major tournaments have been held here before. There are many lakes within the course to add more of a challenge to the players. The course has so much to offer and includes a tricky terrain with lots of hazards to trick your game up a bit. Many players love to get tested on their skills when playing here and even gives them a reality check sometimes. Who doesn’t love a good challenge, right?
Sueno Pines Golf Course
This beautiful golf course is exactly like its name, it is located in the natural pine forests and has a sandy terrain with rolling hills. This is implying that the course would not be an easy one and many people find that playing on this course is indeed a challenge. The Sueno Pines course is next to it’s sister course also known as The Sueno Dunes course. Although the Pines course has much more to offer and is harder, any golfer can get a real challenge.
