The PGA Sultan
The PGA Sultan, the championship course at Antalya Golf Club in Belek, opened in 2003 to a European Golf Design plan with David Jones. A par 71 of about 6,477 meters threading through pine forest, it helped host the 2012 Eisenhower Trophy and remains one of Belek's premier tests.

The verdict
The PGA Sultan is the senior course at Antalya Golf Club and one of the layouts that built Belek's reputation as Europe's winter golf capital. Designed by European Golf Design with the late David Jones and opened in 2003, it winds through dense umbrella pines on the Mediterranean coastal plain, the trees and water lending a calm, enclosed beauty that belies the test within.
It is a thinking golfer's course, with narrow corridors, 122 bunkers and water woven into the forest, and it has the pedigree to match, having helped host the 2012 Eisenhower Trophy world amateur team championship. Paired with its sister Pasha course and the other Belek classics, the Sultan anchors one of the best value golf weeks in the game.

The holes worth the trip
The PGA Sultan plays through corridors of tall umbrella pine, and accuracy off the tee is the price of entry. The trees tighten the lines, the fairways bend through the forest, and the 122 bunkers are placed to catch the drive that leaks toward the easier side. There is little run on the lush coastal turf, so the course rewards a controlled, target style of golf.
Water comes into play on several holes, the former coastal swamps reshaped into clear ponds that sit quietly off the fairway until the moment they matter. The par 3s are well varied in length and the longer par 4s, played into firm, well defended greens, are where a good card is protected.
The closing holes return through the pines toward the clubhouse, where the Sultan's championship credentials show. It is a course that asks for discipline rather than power, and its blend of forest beauty, strategic water and tournament history is why it sits near the top of any Belek itinerary.
