Cornelia is one of the most complete resorts on the NCG Top 100 European Golf Resorts list, and it is also one of eleven venues in an incredible stretch of Turkish coast, with the likes of Antalya GC, Maxx Royal Belek, Carya, Sueno and the Robinson Nobilis all within a ten mile radius on the Mediterranean coastline.

Located where it is, less than 45 minutes from Antalya and the airport, Cornelia is not just a sublime region for golf but is also incredibly easy and hassle-free to get to, 

Sir Nick Faldo is the man behind the 27-hole golf course at Cornelia. It can be played in three loops - The King Course (1-18), The Queen Course (10-27) and the Prince Course (19-27, 1-9). The David Leadbetter Academy chose Cornelia as its first location on Turkish soil, and provides lessons and tuition for all golfers of all abilities.

There are two different hotel options here, the Cornelia De Luxe Resort and the Cornelia Diamond Resort, both with an array of accommodation options, from standard rooms all the way up to Presidential Suites. The Cornelia Azure Villas add another level to that, offering more privacy and a great option for families or groups.

With its 27 hole championship golf course designed by one of the world's most famous golfers - Sir Nick Faldo - the Cornelia Golf Club offers golf enthusiasts a true test of their games.

The golf course, which forms the centrepiece of the Cornelia Golf Resort, has been designed in a natural environment among large pines and natural sand sub oil. A broad dune ridge runs right across the course and is a major part of several of the holes, with elevated tees and greens on many holes.

The 27-hole course can be played in three ways. The King Course incorporates holes 1 to 18, with the Queen Course taking holes 10 to 27. The Prince Course has holes 19 to 27, before coming back to the start and finishing off with holes 1 to 9.

In total, the 27 hole lay-out has 75 deep and challenging bunkers to be navigated around, with water hazards also in play at times during a round. The 7th hole is the signature hole at the Cornelia Golf Course, which comes into play on both the King and Prince lay-outs.

With the expertise of David Leadbetter, the Cornelia Resort's Leadbetter Golf Academy gives a new outlook on golf practice and training and has excellent facilities including a driving range which can be used from both ends, three putting greens and two chipping and pitching greens to hone the short game skills. Separate practice areas are also allocated for group sessions.

Individual and group tuition is available during your stay including on-course lessons on the Faldo Course, where you can learn course management. All lessons at the academy use the latest software, including video analysis. 

There are several hotels that come under the overarching range of Cornelia Hotel Golf & Spa. The Cornelia De Luxe Resort and the Cornelia Diamond Resort are the two main hotels in the resort, while the Cornelia Azure Villas provide that bit more privacy.

The Cornelia De Luxe Resort has a lot to offer in terms of room choice. From the standard rooms in the main building, to those with a view of the gardens. They also host family rooms, which can sleep four adults and two children.

The Villa Junior Suites add a bit of luxury to a stay at the Cornelia De Luxe. You can dive into the pool from your room and enjoy a beautiful natural atmosphere where you can feed the squirrels in the pine trees. Meanwhile, the De Luxe Suites have their own private jacuzzis, with the Grand De Luxe being the creme de la creme. 

Like the De Luxe Resort, the Diamond Resort’s basic rooms are sprinkled with luxury. The Classic and Executive Classic Rooms all feature king-sized beds, separate bath and shower and a private balcony.

There are family rooms and family suites to cater to the needs of those bringing their children, while the Cornelia Diamond also has Blue Suites, with incredible views over the Mediterranean Sea.

The Crassula Eco Spa is available to guests at both the Cornelia De Luxe Resort and the Cornelia Diamond Resort. The Spa offers 100% organic products and treatments to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its guests, as they can relax and rewind on holiday.
