Darren Steels PGA Professional - Golf in Turkey



Golf in Belek, Turkey

 


In the mid 1990s, the stretch of Mediterranean coastline to the east of Antalya became the subject of concerted development, which has resulted in over 30 top class hotels and a number of outstanding golf resorts. Benefiting from a fantastic climate, the focus is on Belek, a resort town which is within 35 minutes of Antalya and its international airport, and has outstanding beaches.

Belek has become incredibly popular in a short period of time, with the number of golf holiday makers rising exponentially thanks to the high quality, ultra all-inclusive resort like Gloria, Cornelia and Sirene. The facilities are superb, and the service is outstanding, while the incredible value that is achievable on 5* luxury golf holidays makes Belek even more attractive.


Golf courses


Sultan Course

The Sultan Course is a ferocious test, where the challenging holes wind through the landscape's impressive pine forests. From the championship tees, the course measures 7,011 yards, and will ensure a formidable examination even for the low handicappers. Spectacular views and challenging hazards are the hallmarks of the Sultan Course, which is one of Belek's finest.

Pasha Course

 

The Pasha Course is the second at the Antalya club, and is a more appropriate proposition for the average golfing visitor. While it benefits from the same brilliant views as the Sultan, its full length of 6,267 yards makes it manageable for everyone. The advantage of the long hitters is nullified around the Pasha, whose defence is its tricky dog-legs, sloping greens and strategically positioned bunkers.
 

More of a ‘thinking man's' course than its neighbour, the Pasha is the perfect foil for the lengthy Sultan layout, which is why the Antalya Golf Club has something for everyone.
