The Best Places to Play Golf in Belek

The Best Places to Play Golf in Belek

Belek has firmly established itself as one of Europe’s premier golf destinations. Located on Turkey’s southern Mediterranean coast, just 30 minutes from Antalya Airport, it offers tournament quality courses, luxury resorts and near guaranteed sunshine for much of the year.

For golfers planning a break with Great Days Golf Travel, Belek delivers a rare combination of accessibility, conditioning and variety. Whether you are organising a society trip, travelling with friends or booking a couples’ golf escape, the region offers layouts that suit every level.

In this guide, we explore the best places to play golf in Belek, with a particular focus on Sueno Golf Club and its two standout courses, The Pines and The Dunes.

Why Belek Is One of Europe’s Top Golf Destinations

Before diving into specific courses, it is worth understanding why Belek has become so popular with travelling golfers.

Belek is home to more than a dozen championship courses, many designed by internationally recognised architects. The region has hosted European Tour events and continues to attract professionals and serious amateurs alike.

Sueno Golf Club

A Standout Venue in Belek

When discussing the best places to play golf in Belek, Sueno Golf Club consistently ranks near the top.

Located in the heart of Belek’s golf corridor, Sueno offers two 18 hole courses, The Pines and The Dunes, alongside a luxury resort hotel and excellent practice facilities. Its combination of quality, variety and convenience makes it especially popular with groups travelling through Great Days Golf Travel.

One of the biggest advantages of Sueno is that the courses sit directly next to the hotel. Many rooms overlook the fairways, allowing golfers to walk from breakfast to the first tee in minutes.

The Pines Course at Sueno Golf Club

Championship Golf with Tournament Pedigree

The Pines Course is Sueno’s championship layout and is widely regarded as one of the most challenging tests in Belek.

Course Overview

  • Par 72
  • Approximately 7,200 yards from the back tees
  • Parkland style layout set among pine trees

The Pines Course demands accuracy from the tee and thoughtful course management. Tree lined fairways narrow in key landing areas, and water hazards come into play on several holes. The greens are well protected and often slightly elevated, rewarding precise approach shots.

This is a course that suits confident ball strikers and golfers who enjoy strategic play rather than simply hitting driver on every hole.

Signature Features

One of the most memorable aspects of The Pines is its finishing stretch. The final holes create a strong test under pressure, particularly for society competitions or group match play.

Water features, well placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes keep the round engaging from start to finish.

Who Should Play The Pines?

  • Low to mid handicap golfers seeking a strong test
  • Competitive groups or societies
  • Players who enjoy tree lined layouts with strategic design

Despite its challenge, multiple tee options ensure that the course remains playable for a range of abilities.

The Dunes Course at Sueno Golf Club

Enjoyable, Varied and Ideal for Mixed Ability Groups

In contrast to The Pines, The Dunes Course offers a slightly more forgiving and relaxed experience while still delivering quality golf.

Course Overview

  • Par 69
  • Around 6,400 yards from the back tees
  • Blend of parkland and links inspired features

The Dunes is shorter than The Pines, but it should not be underestimated. The layout includes water hazards, gentle doglegs and well contoured greens that reward accuracy.

Fairways are generally wider, which makes it appealing to higher handicappers and those looking for an enjoyable round without feeling overwhelmed.

Key Characteristics

The Dunes makes clever use of natural terrain and water. It provides more scoring opportunities, making it popular for groups that want competitive but friendly rounds.

For many visitors, combining The Pines and The Dunes during the same trip offers the best of both worlds.

Who Should Play The Dunes?

  • Mixed ability groups
  • Mid to higher handicap golfers
  • Players looking for a balanced and enjoyable round

For a four or five night golf break, alternating between the two courses creates variety without the need for long transfers.


Other Top Golf Courses in Belek

While Sueno Golf Club is a highlight, Belek offers several other excellent courses that regularly feature in Great Days Golf Travel itineraries.

Carya Golf Club

Carya is known for its heathland style design and immaculate conditioning. It also offers night golf under floodlights, creating a unique experience that few destinations can match.

National Golf Club

One of the oldest courses in Belek, The National is a classic tree lined layout that rewards precision and patience.

Cullinan Links

Located along the coast, Cullinan Links features two 18 hole courses with sea views and modern design. Its riverside holes are particularly scenic.

Montgomerie Maxx Royal

Designed by Colin Montgomerie, this course is known for its bold bunkering and championship standard setup.

Each of these courses brings something slightly different to a Belek golf holiday, allowing Great Days Golf Travel to tailor itineraries based on group preferences.

Why Sueno Golf Club Is Ideal for Golf Breaks

For many travelling golfers, convenience is just as important as course quality. Sueno stands out because:

  • The hotel and courses are on the same site
  • Practice facilities include driving range and short game areas
  • Two contrasting 18 hole courses offer variety
  • The clubhouse and resort facilities are modern and comfortable

This setup is particularly useful for larger groups or society trips where simplicity and efficiency matter.
