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
The Carya Golf Club offers 27 holes designed by golfing great Nick Faldo.
The holes run through forests of pines and eucalyptus, as well as natural wetlands. The second nine is arguably the most impressive nine holes in Belek, with wonderful rolling terrain and contoured greens, all deep within Belek forest.
The Carya Golf Club is home to a David Leadbetter Golf Academy for those looking to sharpen up their swing, and is generally considered among the very best courses in Belek.
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.
Cullinan Links Golf Club offers golf enthusiasts an exceptional golf experience with stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Besgoz River and Taurus Mountains on the other. The holes are situated along the coast, providing players with breathtaking views at each pit.
Cullinan features 2 x 18 holes golf courses, Aspendos and Olympos, allowing you to choose between playing two different 18 holes.
Course designers strived to incorporate the area’s natural features; lakes, dunes, and rivers are some of the course’s many challenges.
Many tees sit on the top of the dunes to give you a perfect view across the course and towards the snow-capped Taurus Mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea.
