Where Tradition Meets Twilight
Nestled in the heart of Belek’s lush landscape, Carya Golf Club is a masterpiece of design and atmosphere — a course that embodies both the heritage of classic golf and the innovation of modern play. Created under the vision of five-time Open Champion Peter Thomson and his design team at Thomson Perrett & Lobb, Carya Golf Course brings the spirit of the great English heathland layouts to the Mediterranean. Rolling fairways weave through tall pines and heather-lined corridors, each hole offering both a challenge and a moment of serene beauty.
From the first tee, the sense of craftsmanship is unmistakable. Strategic bunkering demands precision; the immaculate greens reward creativity and touch. The course layout gracefully balances risk and reward, inviting players to think their way around rather than rely solely on power. Every contour, every shadow, every whisper of wind feels intentionally placed — designed to test, inspire, and enchant.
But what truly sets Carya apart is its brilliance after sunset. As Europe’s first full 18-hole floodlit course, Carya invites golfers to experience something extraordinary: the magic of playing championship golf under a canopy of stars. The fairways glow softly against the night sky, the greens shimmer like glass, and each shot feels cinematic — a surreal combination of sport, theatre, and tranquillity.
The clubhouse complements this splendour with elegance and warmth. Overlooking the finishing holes, it offers refined comfort, fine dining, and the perfect terrace to toast a round well played. From early morning mist to the golden hour and beyond, Carya Golf Club delivers an experience that transcends golf — a destination for those who value the artistry of the game as much as its competition.
Whether you are chasing a personal best, walking in the footsteps of professionals during the Turkish Airlines Open, or simply savouring the rare joy of night golf in a breathtaking setting, Carya Golf Club promises more than a round. It offers a memory that glows long after you’ve left the final green.
