Antalya Golf Club

The Sultan Course at Antalya Golf Club occupies a prominent position in Belek, the purpose-built golf resort region along Turkey's Mediterranean coast. Designed by David Jones of European Golf Design and opened in the early 2000s, the course represents one of the earlier championship layouts in what has become Turkey's primary golf destination. The design takes advantage of the region's relatively flat coastal terrain, incorporating substantial water features, strategic bunkering, and mature pine and eucalyptus trees that frame many holes. The routing moves through varied environments, with several holes playing along or across lakes that serve both aesthetic and strategic purposes. Jones employed generous fairway corridors balanced by demanding approach shots to well-protected greens, creating a layout accessible to resort guests while maintaining championship credentials. The course has hosted multiple professional tournaments on the European Tour's schedule, including events that helped establish Belek's reputation in international golf circles. Antalya Golf Club operates as part of the broader Belek golf infrastructure, serving both visiting golfers and members within a resort setting. The Mediterranean climate allows for year-round play, and the course benefits from the region's investment in agronomy and maintenance standards. The Sultan Course shares the property with additional layouts, contributing to Antalya Golf Club's role as one of the anchor facilities in Turkey's golf tourism industry. The combination of championship design, reliable playing conditions, and coastal setting has made it a regular stop for European golfers seeking winter golf destinations.
