Best golf courses in Belek

The first in a trio of European Tour courses featured in Belek, Carya Golf Club has been inspired by some of England’s finest woodland courses, with tall trees framing the fairways throughout. The immaculate conditioning makes taking on this 7,200 yard championship course somewhat easier, but you’ll still need to find the fairways – and steer clear of the myriad of water hazards – if you’re to play to your handicap!

The course boasts floodlights throughout, making it the ideal place to squeeze in an evening round during your stay.
