Suitable for both low and high handicaps, the Pasha golf course in Antalya is challenging and beautiful. This par 72 course has numerous obstacles designed to test all abilities; from clever bunkers to difficult dog legs. Even the most experienced golfer will need to think twice before they take a shot on this course.

Winding through the Belek forest, this course has a stunning, dramatic backdrop which makes it a strong contender for those planning the perfect golfing trip.

Carya

The international Carya golf course has been designed by Thomson Perrett & Lobb. It’s unique in the fact that it’s the first ever heathland, classic style course built on the Mediterranean Turkish coast and the beautiful heather dominates the style of the course.

These are the top three golf courses you should consider when travelling to Antalya. Visitors travel from all over the world to hit a few balls on these greens. There are also a number of golf tournaments and events throughout the year, so make sure you check availability before booking a holiday.
