Prince at Cornelia Golf Club

The Prince Course at Cornelia Golf Club occupies a site in Belek, the concentrated golf resort region along Turkey's Mediterranean coast east of Antalya. Nick Faldo designed the course, which opened in the mid-2000s as part of the broader development of Belek as a European golf destination. The layout reflects Faldo's design approach from this period, emphasizing strategic bunkering, green contours that reward precision, and routing that works with the relatively flat coastal terrain typical of the area.

The course sits inland from the beach, surrounded by pine forest and Mediterranean vegetation. Water features appear on several holes, and the design incorporates elevation changes modest by nature but sufficient to add visual interest and strategic variety to what is fundamentally links-style ground. Faldo's signature attention to green complexes means approach shots and short game play a significant role in scoring, with putting surfaces that tilt and undulate more than the fairways suggest from a distance.

Belek courses generally serve international resort and holiday golfers, and the Prince Course fits this profile. The climate allows year-round play, with the busiest seasons in spring and autumn when northern European visitors arrive in large numbers. The Cornelia complex includes hotel and resort amenities, and the course is maintained to standards expected by traveling golfers accustomed to well-conditioned layouts. It represents one of several Faldo designs in Turkey and contributes to the country's effort to establish itself as a Mediterranean golf market.
