If you’re looking for the perfect golf holiday, you might think of Spain or the Algarve. We suggest you add Türkiye to the list, and in particular the Belek region, where there are no fewer than 11 resorts within a 15 mile stretch of golfing perfection, and all of those make our top 100 list of European Golf Resorts.

The resort that leads the way is Antalya GC. The resort has two incredible golf courses, with the PGA Sultan a tour-level championship 18-hole venue. Along with the Pasha Course, the two provide a challenge for players ranging  from modest beginner to the game’s elite.

Combine two glorious golf courses with stunning views, top quality playing surfaces and year-long good weather and you can see how Antalya GC is up there with the best European golfing destinations.

In addition to the  golf courses, there are two five-star hotels linked to Antalya GC. The Sirene and the Kempinski Hotel, The Dome. The Kempinski is going through renovations over the 2023/2024 winter season to provide an enhanced, luxury stay.

The PGA Sultan is the championship-level golf course at Antalya GC, measuring at more than 7,000 yards from the back tees. The course is a true yardstick of a golfer’s ability, and will separate the elite from the amateur in a few short holes. 

Designed by European Golf Design and David Jones, no stone was left unturned when making the PGA Sultan, with the course blending seamlessly into the surrounding environment. The course plays fast and firm throughout the year, making it a worthwhile trip in both the summer and winter. 

The golf course hosted the Turkish Airlines World Golf Final in 2012, an invitation event which saw Tiger Woods, Charl Schwartzel, Lee Westwood, Rory Mcllroy, Hunter Mahan, Matt Kuchar, Justin Rose and Webb Simpson tee it up. England’s Rose won the title, and it was an event that brought the world’s attention to the venue. The course has also hosted the Eisenhower Trophy.

The second course at Antalya GC is the Pasha Course - a course that most golf resorts in Europe would take as their frontline venue.

Slightly shorter and somewhat easier than the PGA Sultan, the Pasha provides a fun challenge for golfers of all abilities. Tricky dog-legs, cleverly placed bunkers and undulating greens will ensure that the more experienced golfer must think over each shot carefully.

10 water hazards and 65 bunkers lie in wait for errant shots, while the Bermuda grass can cause havoc to any golfer not used to playing on this type of turf. The Pasha is a fun course, but it can still make your scorecard look a mess come the end of 18 holes if you’re not careful.

Antalya Golf Club has two incredible 18-hole championship courses, and it is also the host to the AGC Academy. Head Pro Ramazan Duman has been a fully qualified member of the Turkish PGA since 2007, and he passes down his knowledge and expertise to help improve the game of thousands of golfers a year.

Thanks to the multicultural nature of the Turkish resort, lessons are given in a number of languages, including Turkish, English and Russian. The PGA-certified instructors give you the opportunity to hone your skills by offering a range of coaching services, including private lessons.

Antalya GC is linked with two incredible hotels. The first is the Sirene,  the more child-friendly of the two resorts. 

Its luxurious rooms offer you a comfortable and stylish stay. Each room has its own private balcony with sea views or views over the golf courses, with the option of boutique suites and villas - the latter a great option for larger families or groups who want to stay in the same place.

The second option is the Kempinski Hotel, The Dome. It sits directly on the beach and stands out as an architecturally unique boutique hotel. Built in Seljuk style, it is comprised of elegant rooms and suites with sea or garden views, plus impressive villas amidst the two golf courses. The more refined atmosphere makes this the better option for couples.

Where is the Antalya GC located?
Antalya GC is situated in a prime location for golf. Based on the southern coast of Turkiye in the Belek region, Antalya GC is one of several incredible golfing resorts within a ten mile stretch of coastline. The resort is located approximately 30 minutes from Antalya city centre.

The nearest airport to Antalya GC is Antalya, no more than a 30 minute drive. The airport has daily flights to the majority of European countries, with multiple flights to the UK. 

Along with the two excellent golf courses, the Antalya Golf Club Academy can help provide you with tuition and lessons, no matter what level of golf you play. Learning the fundamentals or fine tuning the swing, the AGC Academy provides specialist tuition packages, including both range and on course lessons.

There is a big driving range at Antalya GC, with unlimited balls on offer for those teeing it up on one of the two courses that day. At the range, there is also three chipping greens for you to hone your short game, along with two putting greens so a feel for the speed and breaks can be found before heading out for a round.

The Sultan Course is the more expensive of the two golf courses at Antalya GC, with golf in the high season costing €183. In the winter months or in the very height of summer, those prices are almost halved, down to €97. For the same time periods, the Pasha Course comes in at €155 and €77.

Antalya GC is linked with two hotels which sit over the road from the golf club. They are the Sirene and the Kempinski Hotel, The Dome. The Sirene is the child-friendly hotel, while the Kempinski is for the adults, and features a spa and several bars and restaurants.

Of the two hotels located by Antalya GC, the Sirene is the one to go for if you are bringing your children on the trip. The hotel has its own kids club, which is specially designed for letting the little ones make their own holiday stories and enables them to have a safe and fun trip. Sirenus Kids World offers a holiday through which the little ones feel special by the children’s pool, cinema, alternative games and activities.
