Belek, Turkey
Carya Golf Club
A Thomson Perrett & Lobb heathland design set among Belek's umbrella pines.
Course overview
Carya Golf Club was crafted by Thomson Perrett & Lobb and opened in 2008 within the Gloria Hotels & Resorts complex. The heathland-style layout stretches to 6,571 metres from the championship tees and routes through mature pine forest, with native rough and strategically placed bunkers defining each hole. Firm, true-running fairways and large, undulating greens reward controlled ball-striking over raw power.

How to get there
Antalya Airport is the hub for the Belek resort area, approximately 30 km east along the D400 coastal road. Most hotels offer shuttle transfers; car hire and licensed taxis are also available at the airport.
Where to stay
Belek is almost entirely a purpose-built resort destination, and its accommodation is concentrated along a pine-forested strip between the highway and the Mediterranean. Almost all of the major resort hotels here include golf access or are directly adjacent to a course.
