DESTINATION · TURKEY BELEK

Turkey Belek — Resort golf at senior prices.

Belek has 15 championship courses spread along 50 km of coastline, all integrated into 5-star all-inclusive resorts. Green fees start at €30, with top hotel standards and excellent German travel infrastructure. This highlights why Belek offers the best value for money in the senior golf market.

MA Belek trip in 2023 was the most affordable senior golf trip of my life. €1,150 for 7 days all-inclusive at the 5-star Maxx Royal resort, including 5 green fees. I saved on a rental car (resort's own course shuttle). A comparable Costa del Sol trip would have cost €2,400. Belek offers senior golf at Tunisia prices with premium quality.

Belek (Southern Turkey, 19 miles east of Antalya) is Europe's most affordable premium golf destination. All 15 courses are integrated into 5-star all-inclusive resorts (Maxx Royal, Regnum, Cornelia, Gloria, etc.). Green fees from €30 (in package deals), all-inclusive dining, and local German tour guides.

What Belek is not

Belek offers premium senior golf at Tunisian prices—but it’s not an authentic Turkish experience. If you’re looking for Istanbul’s culture, the Anatolian countryside, or a genuine Turkish experience, Belek isn’t the place to go. Belek is a resort island with German-style infrastructure. If you’re okay with that, you’ll find the best value for money in senior golf.
