If you like your Belek golf framed by umbrella pines and with water never far away, Gloria New Course will be right up your street. It's only a few hundred metres from Gloria Verde Resort and it's a proper resort test, with plenty happening from tee to green.
The course unfolds across undulating terrain where water comes into play throughout, demanding accuracy off the tee and precision into well-protected greens. The hole everyone talks about is the par-3 17th, an island green that will give you proper Sawgrass vibes. From the back tees it's around 165 yards, so it's not long, but it's one you have to commit to. It's exactly the sort of hole that can make or break your card, and it's the one you'll be replaying in your head long after you've left Belek.
It's a par 72 and the scorecard stretches from around 6,900 yards on the championship tees up to just over 7,100 from the very back set, so pick the right markers for your group and you'll have a much better day. The layout has earned its stripes on the tournament circuit, hosting multiple amateur and professional championships over the years. Big names including John Daly, Darren Clarke and Sam Torrance have all teed it up here, testament to the quality of the design and conditioning.
If you're building a multi-round Belek break, I'd pair the New Course with the Old for variety, then add a third round elsewhere to mix up the look and feel. Speak to our team and we'll get the tee times lined up around your resort.
Who is this for? Golfers who want a smart, championship-style round in Belek that's close to the resort and packed with water-lined decisions.
Who is it best for? Mid to low handicappers and confident ball-strikers, plus groups who want to rotate between Gloria's courses without compromising on conditioning.
