Golf in Turkey
The Belek Region of Turkey has quickly established itself as a favourite for British golfers travelling abroad. Indeed golf holidays in Turkey are increasing faster than any other golf destination. Thankfully, two new courses will open in 2008 improving the availability and capacity yet again. This will bring the total number of courses to 13 with 2 of those having 27 holes.
The standard of golf in Turkey and their close proximity to the hotels is one of the main reasons for the success of the area. Couple this with an efficient and low cost transfer service, great weather, quality hotels, culturally and historically rich region, all inclusive concept and only 40 minutes from the International Airport of Antalya you can see why Turkey golf holidays are going from strength to strength.
Lykia Links Golf is the most exciting of the new projects as the course is completely unique in the area and has been carefully designed by
Perry Dye every step of the way. Lykia has been likened to Whistling Straits which was sculpted along an equally beautiful stretch of the Wisconsin coastline on the shores of Lake Michigan USA. The second new course also opening in November 2008 is
Carya Golf Club which is described as a heathland course after the introduction of heather to the site. This has added to the character of a course mature beyond its years.
There are some 45 hotels located in the 30 km sandy coastline of
Belek each adjacent to the beach.
