Golf in Turkey: Check out Faldo-designed Cornelia Resort
There are many reasons why the discerning British golfer is increasingly heading for Turkey and one of the most compelling is the sheer quality of the courses in the Antalya area in the south of the country.
Cornelia Faldo is up there with the best, benefitting from the kind of sandy soil and mature pines you might more naturally associate with Surrey’s famous heathland belt.
Now six years old, no wonder Sir Nick, a six-time Major champion, was so excited by the opportunity to design a course here. It extends to three loops of nine – Tiberius, Semprona and Gaius – all of comparable quality and challenge, ensuring 27 holes are on site for those staying at one of the two Cornelia resorts.
That brings us to another prime draw for visitors in this part of the world – namely the quality of the accommodation. The Deluxe and Diamond resorts are stylish and offer a great choice of dining and drinking venues.
