Step onto a course that seamlessly integrates the rugged charm of the Scottish Highlands with the Mediterranean's temperate allure. Welcome to Lykia Links Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-72 course meticulously designed by esteemed American architect Perry Dye. Situated in the picturesque Denizyaka region of Antalya, this course, inaugurated in 2008, holds the unique distinction of being Turkey's inaugural links-style golf facility.
As you navigate the fairways, the maritime breeze subtly alludes to the rich history of iconic links courses globally. Among approximately 36,000 golf courses worldwide, a select 300 have earned the coveted "links" designation. Lykia Links is honoured to be part of this elite category. The course represents a harmonious fusion of natural topography and architectural ingenuity, engineered to challenge and engage golfers of varying skill levels. The prevailing winds serve as a dynamic variable, introducing an element of unpredictability to each round.
The standout features of the course are holes 13 through 16, strategically positioned along the eastern Mediterranean coastline. These holes serve as the zenith of the course, skillfully integrated into the natural dunes. They are designed to test a golfer's technical skill and mental fortitude. The 18th hole culminates in a stadium-like setting, its complex turtle-back green bordered by an expansive waste area on the right and contoured mounds on the left. This concluding hole demands undivided attention, serving as an apt conclusion to an exhilarating golfing experience.
Beyond the course, Lykia Links offers a comprehensive golfing experience. Should you require premium Callaway golf sets, they are readily available for rent. Buggy and trolley services can be arranged upon request.
