Belek is now home to several world-class, PGA tour-standard facilities, including ones designed by legends of the sport Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie, offering a choice of 17 different 18-hole championship courses, two links courses and 16 forest courses.

It plays host to more than 50 tournaments a year, including the Turkish Airlines Challenge and the Turkish Airlines Open.

The temperate climate allows golfers to play every month of the year, in average temperatures of 24°C and with more than 300 days of guaranteed sunshine.

It’s just a 35-minute drive from Antalya airport and there are plenty of luxury hotels with Belek’s courses sitting between the mountains and the sea, making it a golfer’s paradise.

The facilities are world-class, with state-of-the-art practice facilities and lessons with PGA-certified instructors on offer, making it an ideal location for beginners and experts alike.
