The Beating Heart of Belek’s Golfing Legacy
Framed by pine forests and kissed by the Mediterranean breeze, Gloria Golf Club stands as one of the most celebrated golfing sanctuaries in Turkey and across Europe. It is not only the largest golf complex in Turkey but also the only resort in the country to feature 45 holes across three magnificent courses—the Old Course, the New Course, and the Verde Course—each masterfully designed to offer a distinctive challenge while sharing the same spirit of excellence.
Since opening its fairways in 1997, Gloria has been the preferred destination for professionals, international tournaments, and discerning golf travellers who seek more than just a game. Here, every tee tells a story, every hole is framed by beauty, and every round feels like a journey through a living masterpiece.
The Old Course, the crown jewel of the trio, offers a classic parkland layout renowned for its mature pine trees, natural lakes, and strategic bunkering. Its subtle elevation changes and generous fairways create a traditional feel, where precision and patience are rewarded. It’s the kind of course that demands respect—challenging yet fair, elegant yet unforgiving—a true test of skill and temperament that continues to host world-class events and remains a favourite among purists.
The New Course, by contrast, brings a more modern flair. Longer, bolder, and more open in character, it invites aggressive play and bold shot-making. Its water features are cleverly integrated into the design, demanding both strategy and courage. From the first tee to the final green, the New Course showcases the evolution of championship golf in Belek, offering both seasoned players and ambitious amateurs a thrilling test surrounded by lush landscapes and panoramic views.
For those seeking a quicker yet equally satisfying challenge, the Verde Course delivers nine holes of pure delight. Designed to complement its larger siblings, Verde is ideal for warm-up rounds, corporate events, or a leisurely afternoon under the Mediterranean sun. Compact, scenic, and meticulously maintained, it proves that great golf doesn’t always require 18 holes—it requires character, and Verde has plenty of it.
Adding a cutting-edge touch to its timeless setting, Gloria Golf Club is home to the TrackMan™ Range technology, a state-of-the-art system that brings world-class data tracking and performance analysis to players of all levels. Whether you’re fine-tuning your drive, perfecting your approach, or simply enjoying a fun and interactive practice session, TrackMan transforms training into an engaging, measurable experience.
Beyond the fairways, Gloria’s dedication to excellence extends to every detail—from its luxurious clubhouse and fully equipped pro shop to its tranquil terrace overlooking the greens. The atmosphere blends sophistication with genuine warmth, a signature of Turkish hospitality. Here, players are not just visitors—they are part of a community united by passion, precision, and the pursuit of perfection.
At Gloria Golf Club, golf is not just played—it is lived, celebrated, and remembered. Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of champions on the Old, embracing bold new horizons on the New, or savouring quick rounds on the Verde, one thing remains constant: Gloria’s promise of an extraordinary golfing experience, where tradition meets innovation and every swing feels like a privilege.
