About Carya Golf Club
Belek is Turkey’s premier destination for those seeking the ultimate golf holiday experience. Opening in November 2008, the Carya golf course was designed by Thomson Perrett & Lobb Golf Course Architects (founded by five-time British Open winner Peter Thomson).
The Carya golf course is the first floodlit golf course in Europe and is one of the few golf clubs to host 18-hole international championship tournaments in Turkey. It has been listed as one of the ''top 100 golf clubs in the world'' and welcomes all visitors.
Carya boasts a player’s course, a world-class golf academy, and a spectacular new club house.
Carya Golf Club, in Antalya’s Belek Region, is the first classic, heathland style golf course to be built on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. Set on undulating sand hills, Carya is a championship golf course at the heart of Turkey’s golf coast. Grown in an extensive nursery on site, Carya’s heather shapes define the course into a truly magnificent spectacle. The 6605 metres, par 72 course, is a demanding test of golfing strategy with free-flowing holes that run between pine and eucalyptus trees and across a dramatic sand ridge.
The course is inspired by the traditional old English style heathland courses in the surrey area outside of London such as Wentworth, Sunningdale, Walton Heath, and The Berkshire. The construction has involved the planting of close to one million heather plants to strengthen the heathland environment that already exists.
Carya Golf Club is open to golf lovers of any age and skill level. The course is designed to challenge the best players, but at the same time be a thoroughly enjoyable experience for people at all levels. Carya adds a new concept and raises the bar even greater to the already popular and high standards of golf in Belek.

Plan with a person who lives on the course.
Our local concierges are based in Antalya. They know which suite catches the morning light, which tee-time avoids the wind, and which restaurant to send a group of eight to on a Thursday.
