Kaya Palazzo Golf Club
Belek is Europe's winter golf factory, a stretch of the Turkish Mediterranean coast packed with championship resorts, and Kaya Palazzo is one of its most established. The Irish architect David Jones cut this par 72 through mature pine forest in 2007, a quiet, tree lined test a short transfer from Antalya and the warm coast.

The verdict
Kaya Palazzo, originally Kaya Eagles, opened in 2007 at Belek, the resort belt east of Antalya that has become the engine of winter golf in the eastern Mediterranean. The course was designed by the Irish architect and Master PGA Professional David Jones across some 650,000 square metres of pine forest, a par 72 of around 5,900 metres that places a premium on position rather than raw length.
It is a classic Belek resort round, the holes carved through tall umbrella pines so that each plays as its own corridor, quiet and secluded, with water and bunkers shaping the strategy. The conditioning is high and the climate generous, golf is comfortable here from autumn through to spring when northern Europe is shut down. Paired with the resort hotels and the value of an all inclusive base, it is an easy course to recommend for a sun and golf week.

The holes worth the trip
Kaya Palazzo is a course of corridors. The tall Mediterranean pines line every fairway, so the holes feel private and the premium is on keeping the ball in play rather than overpowering it. Stray into the trees and the recovery is awkward, find the short grass and the course opens up to well bunkered greens.
Water comes into play on a number of holes to add bite, and the par 5s give the bigger hitter a chance to score, but this is a layout that favors the accurate and the patient over the long. The greens are true and run at resort pace, and the relatively gentle terrain makes it a comfortable walk or an easy buggy round.
What sets Belek apart is reliability, warm sun, firm conditioning and a settled course in months when links golf at home is unplayable. Kaya Palazzo will not overwhelm a good player, but it is a genuine par 72 test that rewards a tidy game and rounds out a multi course week on the Turkish coast.
