Carya Golf Course
Carya Golf Club, set among the scenic pine forests of Belek, is one of Turkey’s most prestigious championship courses. Designed by Peter Thomson (TPL), this 18-hole par-72 layout combines classic English heathland inspiration with modern design challenges. Rolling fairways, large true greens, strategically placed bunkers, and four lakes create a memorable experience for golfers of all levels.
As Europe’s first fully floodlit 18-hole course, Carya allows play well into the evening. Recognized for excellence, it has received the Golfers Choice Award 2024 for Best Golf Club in Turkey and was recently ranked 99th among courses in Continental Europe by a leading golf publication. With multiple tee options, challenging but fair play, and top-quality practice facilities including a driving range, putting and short-game areas, Carya delivers a complete and unforgettable golf experience.
