Golfing in Turkey

The Gloria Golf Club now has 45 Holes. The Gloria Old is a truly glorious 18 hole golf course designed by Michel Gayon, winding it’s way through avenues of thick trees and 7 lakes. Gloria was host to the 2001 PGA European Turkish Senior Open. Truly a challenging course. It provides a memorable venue for a leisurely game. With the 9 hole Verde course built round a large lake this is a great place to play golf. Never was a golf course so aply named. This is a glorious course, which is flat,lush and moderately tight, with major trees dominating critical points.

Also designed by Michel Gayon, the parkland-style New course at Gloria is just a five-minute walk from one of the most idyllic beaches on the eastern Mediterranean. Both visually attractive and challenging to play, the New is not overly long (it measures 6,239 metres from the back tees), but its undulating, tree-lined setting is shaped by four large lakes and 67 bunkers (four more than the Old). Gayon has fully taken advantage of this varied terrain and created a fascinating test of golf. the number of holes at Gloria to 45, and therefore make it the biggest golf resort in Belek.
