Buddies Golf Trips to Turkey

Belek was built for the golf group: several championship courses within a short shuttle, big lively five star resorts with the food and drinks settled up front, floodlit evening golf and warm shoulder season sun. It is the best value group trip in the Mediterranean, done easy.

Who it suits

Why Belek works for a buddies trip

A buddies trip lives or dies on the logistics, and Belek nails them. The championship courses sit within a short shuttle of each other, the big resorts bundle the room, the food and often the golf into one price, and the group can play hard all day and never reach for a wallet. For premium golf at a price well below western Europe, with everything close together, it is hard to beat for a group.

It is built for the eight or twelve who want plenty of golf, a comfortable base and an easy night out without the trip costing a fortune. Several of the best courses are walkable or a two minute buggy from the room, Carya runs floodlit for an evening nine, and the flights from the UK and northern Europe are short. We handle the rota, the tee times and the transfers so the only decision left is the order of play.

Timing

Best time to book

Play in spring from March to May or autumn from October to November for warm, dry days and firm fairways, the ideal group windows. Midsummer in Belek is hot and best handled with early tee times and the floodlit evenings at Carya, while winter is mild and the value season, which is why the resorts run year round. Lock in larger group dates early, as the best resorts and tee times go first.
