1. Gloria Golf Resort
Gloria leads because its golf proposition extends beyond one headline course. Gloria Golf Club lists 45 holes: the Old and New 18-hole courses plus the nine-hole Verde Course. Its practice setup also makes it practical for lessons, warm-ups and groups playing on consecutive days.
The trade-off is choice management. A short stay can become over-programmed if every day is built around golf, so groups should decide whether they value course variety more than exploring Antalya.
Best for: golfers planning three or more rounds and groups with varied handicaps.
2. Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort
Maxx Royal is the logical base for travellers centring the trip on Montgomerie Maxx Royal. The course’s par-72, 6,522-metre championship layout appeals to confident players, while the resort removes much of the daily transfer planning.
That convenience is less valuable for beginners who would be happier sampling more forgiving courses. Check whether the accommodation package actually includes tee times, transfers or practice access rather than assuming they are bundled.
Best for: experienced golfers prioritising Montgomerie.
3. Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa
Cornelia’s main advantage is its 27-hole Nick Faldo-designed course. Three nine-hole loops allow different combinations, giving repeat guests more variation than a single 18-hole resort.
The strategic design can still challenge casual players because the preferred side of a fairway matters. Groups should use appropriate tees rather than judging suitability only by total yardage.
Best for: couples or groups wanting repeat golf without identical rounds.
4. Regnum Carya
Regnum Carya is associated with Belek’s most distinctive course. Carya’s heathland-style character and floodlit play create an experience unavailable at most Mediterranean resorts.
Night golf is the deciding feature, but operating days and illuminated routing can change. Confirm the exact tee time and transport arrangements before choosing the hotel primarily for this benefit.
Best for: premium stays built around Carya and a night round.
5. Cullinan Belek
Cullinan gives guests access to two modern courses and a broad resort setting. It suits travellers who want golf to share the holiday with pools, dining and family facilities rather than dominate every day.
Water features add visual appeal but may frustrate inconsistent players. Ask which routing is in operation and whether maintenance affects either course.
Best for: mixed-interest groups seeking contemporary facilities.
6. Sueno Hotels Golf Belek
Sueno’s practical strength is proximity to both the Pines and Dunes courses. That makes early tee times, second rounds and mid-day breaks simpler than relying on transfers across Belek.
Pines generally provides the sterner test, while Dunes can be the more manageable option. This pairing helps groups divide by ability without choosing different hotels.
Best for: golfers who want maximum course convenience.
7. Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort
Kaya Palazzo is a sensible choice when the holiday needs a convenient round rather than a relentless championship schedule. The adjacent course is more compact than some of Belek’s longest layouts, which can suit moderate handicaps and shorter stays.
Best for: couples and families balancing golf with resort time.
Questions to ask before booking
Request written confirmation of the included course, number of rounds, tee-time window, airport and course transfers, buggy or trolley charges, club rental and cancellation terms. Also ask about overseeding and aeration during your dates.
A hotel described as a “golf resort” may provide privileged course access without including green fees. Compare the complete trip cost, not the room rate alone.
