KLASSIS GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB

Klassis Golf & Country Club's layout is challenging enough to have hosted many international tournaments, including events on the PGA European Challenge Tour and PGA Seniors Tour, and its four par-3s, five par-5s and nine par-4 holes have been designed to make the most of the hazard-strewn, undulating terrain. However, Klassis isn't only suitable for highly accomplished players and with different tees it can be very entertaining for all standards of player. On site is a par-27 academy golf course, which is great for practice, and there's well-equipped driving range with 20 mats and natural grass area accommodating up to 20 golfers, plus a putting green and a large, comprehensively stocked pro shop.

Klassis Golf & Country Club is the only golf club around Istanbul that provides on-site accommodation. The guest rooms are plush and well-equipped and come with the latest mod-cons such as satellite TV, mini-bar, internet and 24-hour room service. There are guest rooms and variously sized suites to choose from. Apartments and self contained villas are another alternative, and the former have private gardens, wide terrace, saloon with a fireplace and an American style kitchen.

Brasserie, the main restaurant of the club, serves as an open buffet or set menu in its indoor saloon and large terrace. Tee Cafe has a fashionable and modern atmosphere and offers an a la carte snack menu and is also a comfortable place for gathering after a round.

Klassis Golf & Country Club's Spa provides a wide variety of massages, including classic, Hoffa, warm stone, aromatherapy and anti-cellulite, facial and body treatments, balneo-therapy and machine treatments. You can also use the fitness centre, sauna and steam bath.
