3 Day Belek Golf Itinerary
Belek is the only place in Europe's orbit where a 72 hour golf trip genuinely works: fifteen championship courses on one strip of pine forest coast, an airport 35 minutes away, all inclusive hotels that swallow every meal and most green fees, and at Carya, floodlights that let the last round finish under the stars. Here is the long weekend, round by round, with the 2026 numbers.

Who this trip suits
This is the itinerary for golfers who can steal a Friday and a Monday but not a week: a society scouting party, a buddies reset, or anyone in northern Europe staring at a frozen tee sheet between October and April. The flight is four hours or less from most of the continent, the transfer is barely longer than an airport coffee, and because the all inclusive model bundles food, drink and often unlimited golf, the total cost undercuts a comparable Spanish weekend by a distance.
Groups with more time should look at the 5 day Belek itinerary, which adds the Gloria New and the value tier; this version concentrates on the three rounds that define the strip. Context, course rankings and hotel pairings live on our Belek and Antalya hub, the best courses in Belek list and the Belek golf holidays page.
The 3 day plan
| Day | The golf | The travel | The night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Land Antalya by midday, check in on the strip, afternoon round at Gloria Old, Michel Gayon's graceful 1997 parkland and the ideal jet lag opener; swap for the National, Belek's first championship course (Feherty and Jones, 1994), if your package favors it | Airport to Belek, 30 to 40 minutes | Belek |
| Day 2 | The Montgomerie Maxx Royal, the strip's modern monument: water, sand and a stadium finish, with the hotel's year round all inclusive covering the day; non residents indicatively 99 to 150 euros by season in 2026 | Within the strip, 10 minutes | Belek |
| Day 3 | Carya, the Thomson Perrett and Lobb heathland through the pines (2008), with peak 2026 rates up to about 219 euros at Regnum Carya; take the floodlit option and the final 18 finishes under lights before a late flight home | Within the strip; airport 35 minutes after the round | Homeward |

Why this routing works
The order is an escalation. Gloria Old asks polite questions while your swing remembers itself; the Montgomerie asks harder ones with water on the card; Carya, all heathland turf and umbrella pines, is the round you will describe at home, and its floodlights solve the oldest short trip problem, the wasted departure day. Belek's geography does the rest: every course sits within about 15 minutes of every hotel, so there are no transfer mornings, no repacking, and a missed alarm costs a warm up bucket rather than a tee time.
Book the hotel and the golf together, always: the strip's economics are built around stay and play, residents of the golf hotels pay a fraction of the visitor rate on their home courses (compare Belek golf hotel rates here), and the Turkey green fee guide shows the spread, 69 euros low season midweek at the value end to 219 at the peak. Compare the strip's full roster in our profiles of Carya, the Montgomerie and Gloria Old, weigh the rival coast in Belek vs Costa del Sol, and if the group is large, the society trips to Belek page covers the group rates and the logistics.

Belek itinerary questions
How much does a 3 day Belek golf trip cost in 2026?
Green fees across Belek's 15 courses run from 69 euros at the value end in low season midweek up to 219 euros at Regnum Carya in peak weeks, with most championship courses sitting between 99 and 150 euros in the shoulder months. The trick is the all inclusive model: the golf hotels bundle room, food, drink and often unlimited golf on their home courses, so a long weekend frequently costs less in total than two rounds alone would in Spain. All fees indicative; always confirm directly before booking.
Can you really play three rounds in three days with flights?
Yes, and Belek is built for exactly this. Antalya airport is 30 to 40 minutes from the resort strip with direct flights from most of Europe, and Carya's floodlit course, the rare championship layout lit for night golf, means even a late arrival or a final evening can hold a full 18. Land by noon on day one and the afternoon round is comfortable.
When is the best time for a Belek long weekend?
October to May. Autumn brings warm seas and firm courses, winter stays mild enough for golf nearly every day, and spring is the conditioning peak. July and August are beach season: hot for golf and priced for families rather than golfers. The November and March shoulders are the value sweet spots, when the weather still cooperates and the fee sheets soften.
Which course should I drop if I only have two rounds?
Keep the Montgomerie and Carya; they are the modern pair that defines Belek, and Carya's pine and sand character with the floodlight option is the experience you cannot replicate elsewhere. Gloria Old, the Michel Gayon design from 1997, is the graceful warm up rather than the headline, and swaps naturally for the National, Belek's original championship course from 1994, if your hotel deal favors it.
