Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Turkey?

We always recommend visiting Turkey for golf during the shoulder seasons-spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). You'll find perfect playing temperatures, fewer crowds on the courses, and still enjoy plenty of sunshine. Avoid the peak summer heat if you want comfortable rounds.

Which region in Turkey offers the best golf experience?

Without a doubt, Belek on the Turkish Riviera is where you should focus your golf trip. This purpose-built resort area boasts a fantastic concentration of world-class courses, all within easy reach of luxurious hotels. It's designed for golfers, making logistics incredibly simple.

What can I expect regarding the quality and challenge of golf courses in Turkey?

You'll be genuinely impressed by the quality of Turkish golf courses-they are meticulously maintained and often designed by big names. Expect championship-level layouts that offer a fair but engaging challenge for all handicaps, often with stunning Mediterranean backdrops. The service at these clubs is typically top-notch, too.

Is Turkey an expensive destination for a golf holiday compared to other European options?

We find Turkey offers excellent value for a luxury golf holiday, especially when you consider the all-inclusive resort packages common in Belek. While green fees are comparable to other top European destinations, the overall cost for accommodation, food, and drinks often makes it a more budget-friendly choice. You get a lot of bang for your buck here.

What's one unique cultural experience or activity we shouldn't miss while golfing in Turkey?

After your rounds, we highly recommend indulging in a traditional Turkish hammam experience-it's the perfect way to relax those golf-weary muscles. Alternatively, take a day trip to explore the ancient Roman ruins of Perge or Aspendos; they're surprisingly close to Belek and offer a fascinating glimpse into history.
