Golf Holidays in Turkey

Turkey is formally a transcontinental nation on the Anatolian peninsula in Western Asia, with a lesser part on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. East Thrace is divided from Anatolia by the Marmara Sea, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles (jointly known as the Turkish Straits).

Turkey is surrounded southwest by Greece and Bulgaria; southwest by Georgia; east by Nakhchivan and Iran by Armenia and east by Azerbaijan; and south by Iraq and Syria. Istanbul, while Ankara is the capital, is the largest city. About 70 to 80% of the people of the country identify as Turkish. The Kurds are the biggest minority; the size of the Kurdish population is a topic of controversy with estimates ranging from 12% to 25% of the population anywhere.

Turkey Golf Holiday Destinations

Belek golf destination

Belek is a municipality with its own municipality in the district of Serik in the Antalya province of Turkey. The local population ranges from 750 to 10,000 in low and high season respectively, Belek is one of the centers of the tourism sector in Turkey and as such is home to more than thirty four-star and five-star restaurants and many other lodging, services and entertainment amenities.

The city and the surrounding region are known for having received seven springs from their spas and mineral waters.

Belek is the perfect place golf breaks in Turkey with a developing golf club and resort. The Turkish Airlines World Golf Final was held in 2012 and the Turkish Airlines Open was held in 2013. 
The quality of its resorts, hotels and golf courses are at the heart of Belek's success, but the underlying importance of comprehensive customer service plays a priceless role. Belek relies heavily on tourism, and as a result, there are few holiday hot spots that extend a warm welcome where staff will go to great lengths to ensure complete comfort.

It was challenged on both occasions over the Montgomerie Maxx Royal, with Victor Dubuisson (-24) breaking through for his first European Tour win in the 2013 case and Brooks Koepka (-17) also shedding his maiden status with a one-stroke win over Ian Poulter in 2014.
