Pasha Course, Antalya GC

The Pasha Course is the second layout at Antalya Golf Club, and it's a more appropriate proposition for the average golfing visitor. While it benefits from the same brilliant views as The Sultan, its full length of 6,267 yards makes it manageable for everyone, from single-figure players to those carrying higher handicaps.

The advantage of the long hitters is nullified around The Pasha. Its defence lies in tricky dog-legs, sloping greens and strategically positioned bunkers. You'll need to plot your way around rather than simply overpower it. The course requires smart, patient golf, though it demands a bit less accuracy than The Sultan thanks to wider fairways and more generous landing areas.

That said, large water hazards and perfectly placed bunkers will make sure you stay fully switched on throughout the round. The views add to the course's abundant character, with the Taurus Mountains visible in the distance and local wildlife adding another twist to the experience.

The par 5 13th is a classic risk-reward hole with water up the right side that really protects the green. It's one of the many highlights across the 18 holes. A course not to be underestimated and a great way to build up to The Sultan, or simply enjoy as a standalone round in its own right.

Antalya Golf Club works closely with the PGA of Turkey, and the practice facilities reflect that pedigree. The state-of-the-art range, short game area and putting greens give you everything you need to hone your game, and expert tuition is available if you want to sharpen up before tackling either course. The pro shop is well stocked with the latest equipment and merchandise.

More of a thinking player's course than its neighbour, The Pasha is the perfect foil for the lengthy Sultan layout, which is why Antalya Golf Club has something for everyone.
