Carya Golf Club, in Antalya's Belek Region, is the first classic, heathland style golf course to be built on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. Set on undulating sand hills, Carya is a championship golf course at the heart of Turkey's golf coast.
Grown in an extensive nursery on site, Carya's heather shapes define the course. The course is demanding on strategy with free flowing holes that run between pine and eucalyptus trees and across a dramatic sand ridge. Carya boasts a Player's Course, a world class Golf Academy and spectacular new Club House.
“This is an exceptional piece of land on which to build a golf course. It is reminiscent of the famous Surrey heathland courses near London that I rate among the world's best and which I was fortunate to enjoy much success on in my playing days. I am very excited about the prospect of TPL creating a classic, traditional style course in Turkey.” Peter Thomson, five time Open Champion
Kaya Palazzo Golf Club, located within the pine forests of Antalya Belek is designed to suit all golfers including those who do not hit the ball vast distances.
It is challenging and has quite a few dramatic holes where the player must choose between risk and reward. The shorter par threes provide interest by strategically placed bunkers and subtle contours on the greens.
The snow-capped Taurus mountains provide a spectacular backdrop to the course through the eucalyptus, olive, pine trees and crystal blue lakes.
Course designer: Colin Montgomerie and European Golf Design
The Montgomerie Maxx Royal is set among pine trees along the Mediterranean coast with large bunkering, sandy waste-areas and seven lakes. The fairways and greens are generous in size, but rarely straightforward.
The Clubhouse at the Montgomerie is something to behold – finished with classic furnishing, high decoration and an excellent bar and dining service.
The National is an attractive parkland design carved through a forest of eucalyptus and pine trees with natural wetlands bordering the length of several holes and the snow-capped Taurus Mountains as a backdrop. Water hazards come into play on many holes, including the par-four 18th where your approach to the green comes in dramatically across a lake.
National Golf was the very first golf course in Belek, opened in 1994, and is designed by former Ryder Cup star and leading commentator David Feherty. It is current home to the European Ladies Tour, as well as previous host to the European Seniors Tour.
