Gloria Golf Club's Old Course, designed by French architect Michel Gayon, occupies a coastal setting near Belek in the Antalya region of southern Turkey. The course opened in the late 1990s as part of the development that established Belek as Turkey's primary golf destination along the Mediterranean coast. Gayon, known for his work on several European resort courses, routed the layout through relatively flat terrain characterized by pine forest and natural vegetation typical of the Turkish Riviera. The design incorporates water features on multiple holes and uses the existing tree cover to define playing corridors and create strategic interest on what is otherwise gently contoured land. The course measures over 6,500 meters from the back tees and presents a resort-style challenge suitable for a range of abilities, with wider fairways than typically found on championship layouts but enough hazard placement to require thoughtful course management. Several holes play along or near water, while others move through the pine groves that provide shade and visual separation between holes. Gloria Golf Club operates as part of a larger resort complex that includes hotel accommodations and spa facilities. The property attracts both European golf tourists, particularly from northern Europe during winter months when the Antalya climate remains mild, and Turkish golfers from major cities. The club has hosted professional events on the regional tour circuit, contributing to Belek's reputation as a golf hub in the eastern Mediterranean.
