Water in play on 8 holes, some of which are really tricky. Nice layout but definitely one of the harder courses you’ll ever play. Ok if you’re playing well, but not if you’re having an off day. Don’t know how Lee Westwood managed to go round it in 63 off the the back tees!
The PGA Sultan Golf Course at Antalya Golf Club is considered to be one of the best golf courses in Turkey. Attracting golfers year after year, The Sultan Golf Course is one of the oldest in Belek. The golf course has formed the inspiration for golf courses in the area that have since been created through the use of pine trees, sandy soil and many lakes and streams which meander through the course.
Immediately adjacent to The Sirene Belek Golf Hotel, golfers staying here can get preferred access to both The Sultan and its sister course The Pasha. Given its location, these are popular choices for golfers looking for a golf resort with the hotel and golf course next to each other rather than travelling to play golf each day.
The PGA Sultan Course has a rich tournament history hosting the pinnacle of both amateur and professional events during its time. In 2012, The Eisenhower Trophy was played here featuring the likes of Justin Thomas, Cameron Smith and Hideki Matsuyama. Shortly after that Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose were amongst the 8 selected to battle for the Turkish Airlines World Golf Final where Rose triumphed and claimed the $1.5 million 1st prize.
