Turkey: Europe's Home of Year-Round Golf
Belek's championship courses, floodlit fairways and all-inclusive beachfront resorts make Turkey one of the most complete golf destinations in the Mediterranean. Bluebird Korea arranges tailor-made Turkey golf holidays — courses, hotels, transfers and everything in between.
Why Golfers Choose Turkey
Belek has spent two decades building one of the most concentrated collections of championship golf courses anywhere in Europe, almost all within a short drive of Antalya airport. Add in all-inclusive resort comfort, warm winters and floodlit golf, and it's easy to see why Turkey has become a go-to destination for golf travelers looking for consistency and value.
Unlike destinations where golf and resort life feel separate, Belek was built around both at once — championship fairways sit directly alongside five-star beachfront hotels, so a day of golf and a day of relaxation are never far apart.
Golf in Belek
What makes the region work so well for golfA Dense Cluster of Courses
Belek is home to more than a dozen championship-standard courses, many designed by well-known names in golf course architecture, almost all within 20–30 minutes of each other.
Floodlit Night Golf
Several courses in Belek offer floodlit golf, letting you fit in an evening round after a warm afternoon by the pool.
Pine Forest & Sandy Waste Areas
Many Belek courses share a distinctive look — pine-lined fairways and sandy waste bunkers that reward strategic, not purely powerful, play.
Practice Facilities Built In
Driving ranges, short-game areas and golf academies are standard at most Belek resorts, useful for warming up or fine-tuning your game.
Best Time to Play
Turkey's golf season, month by month| Period | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| October – April | The prime golf season — mild temperatures, comfortable conditions and generally lower rates than the summer beach season. |
| December – February | Turkey's biggest advantage over most of Europe: playable, pleasant golf weather while much of the continent is closed for winter. |
| May – June & September | A good balance of warmth and course conditions, before and after the busiest summer stretch. |
| July – August | Hot — still playable, especially with floodlit evening rounds, but better suited to those who enjoy the heat. |
