Among the golf destinations that have gained a prominent place on the international scene in recent years, the Belek region, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, certainly occupies a prominent role. Here, a few kilometers from the city of Antalya and a short distance from the sea, lies Antalya Golf Club, one of the most popular clubs in the country, immersed in a landscape of pine forests, lakes and Mediterranean vegetation.
The Club is nestled in a breathtaking natural setting. The pine forests, expansive green spaces, and lakes that characterize the terrain offer picturesque views along the entire course, creating a perfect balance between sport and nature. The mild climate throughout most of the year also allows golf to be played year-round, making this destination particularly popular with players from across Europe.
Antalya Golf Club has two 18-hole courses designed by European Golf Design with the consulting of professional David Jones. The first is the renowned PGA Sultan Course , a true championship course measuring 6.477 meters in length and par 72. It is the club's most challenging course, designed to test even the most experienced golfers. Well-defended fairways, numerous water hazards, strategically placed bunkers, and dynamic greens require precision, tactical skill, and consistency.
Adjacent to the Sultan is the Pasha Course , also an 18-hole, par-72 course, 5.769 meters long. While more accessible, it presents numerous technical challenges, including doglegs, bunkers, and undulating greens that require players to carefully plan every shot. Thanks to its more generous fairways, it is an ideal solution for those looking to improve their handicap as well as for those new to golf without sacrificing a quality course.
Both courses feature numerous ponds. These aren't just for show: the area on which the complex was built was originally marshland, and the excavation of the ponds shaped the terrain, creating the gentle slopes that make the game even more interesting today.
The club's offerings are rounded out by a modern Academy, where qualified instructors organize individual and group lessons, youth programs, on-course sessions, and courses using video analysis systems. The Clubhouse is the meeting point for members and guests, with elegant and relaxing spaces, locker rooms, a pro shop, and all the services needed to fully enjoy a day of golf. The restaurant offers international cuisine and traditional Turkish specialties, offering a pleasant view of the courses and the ideal place for a post-round break.
Technically challenging courses, quality facilities, hospitality, and a stunning natural setting make Antalya Golf Club one of the most attractive destinations for those seeking a complete golf experience. A place where sport, relaxation, and landscape blend harmoniously, confirming Turkey as one of the most fascinating emerging destinations in international golf.
