Cornelia Golf Club is a short shuttle hop from the Cornelia resort and it's one of Belek's best options if you're travelling with golfers who want more than a holiday knockabout. Two big reasons golfers book it: the Nick Faldo-designed layout and a David Leadbetter academy if you fancy mixing proper practice in with your rounds.
The Faldo course is cut through pine forest, with a striking ridge of dunes running through the middle of the property. Add the Mediterranean breeze and you've got a layout that can play very differently from morning to afternoon, so club selection becomes half the battle. From the back tees it stretches to close to 7,000 yards, but it's not just about length, it's the positioning and the angles into the greens that keep you honest.
What I like here is the variety you get across the three nines. You can shape your trip around them, repeat your favourite loop and still feel as if you've played something slightly different each day. If you're coming to Belek for sun, easy logistics and a course that doesn't let you switch off, Cornelia ticks plenty of boxes.
Who is this for? Golfers who want a Faldo test in Belek, with the option of structured coaching alongside their rounds.
Who is it best for? Mid-handicappers and better who enjoy strategy, plus groups that want convenience on a resort base.

The Cornelia Faldo Course is the first project in Turkey for Britain's greatest golfer of recent generations, and is a 27-hole complex that has garnered considerable praise in its short existence. Faldo's creation is a serious test, especially when tackled from the championship tees, as it measures close to 7,000 yards.
The course is carved through a stunning pine forest, with a dramatic ridge of dunes running through the middle. The 6-time major winner was delighted with the blank canvas for his project, as well as its sandy soil, and his creation has done much to aid the emergence of the outstanding Cornelia Resort as a major player in Belek.
The Faldo Course at Cornelia is ranked as one of the best courses in Turkey

The Faldo consists of 3 x 9 holes. King Queen and Prince. Due to maintenance we didn’t play the Queen. The course is lovely. Lots of water. Challenging greens. Enough to keep you going but I would suggest an extra round or two elsewhere for variety. We were handicaps 9-26 and some of the ladies scored 36-40 points. I would also advise against booking anywhere in Turkey for golf between mid Sept to mid October as this is maintenance time. Please wait till you find out when maintenance week is before booking your flights as it will be a pain to rearrange the whole thing.
