Gloria Old Course
A Michel Gayon parkland layout — Belek's original championship course, opened in 1997.
Course overview
Gloria Old Course was designed by Michel Gayon and opened in 1997, making it one of the pioneer courses in Belek and the founding layout of the Gloria Hotels & Resorts golf operation. The parkland design winds through towering umbrella pines, with water hazards coming into play on several holes to add strategic variety. Decades of establishment have produced a mature, characterful course that contrasts with Belek's newer builds.

How to get there
Antalya Airport is the main gateway for Belek. The D400 coastal road connects the airport to the resort area around 30 km east. Hotel shuttles, taxis, and car hire are all straightforward options.
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.
