The PGA Sultan Golf Course at Antalya Golf Club is widely seen as one of Belek's standout championship tests, and it's easy to see why golfers keep coming back. As one of the area's older, more established layouts, it helped shape what Belek golf looks like today: corridors of pine, sandy ground underfoot and water in play often enough to keep you honest.
One of the big selling points is how straightforward the golf holiday logistics are. The course sits right next to The Sirene Belek Golf Hotel, so if you're staying there you can swap the transfer bus for a short walk and get preferred access to both the Sultan and the sister course, the Pasha. If your group wants maximum golf time with minimum faff, this is exactly the sort of set-up that works.
The Sultan also comes with proper tournament credentials. In 2012 it hosted the Eisenhower Trophy, with names like Justin Thomas, Cameron Smith and Hideki Matsuyama all in the field. Later that year the Turkish Airlines World Golf Final arrived in Belek, with eight of the world's best teeing it up. Justin Rose took the $1.5 million first prize, beating Lee Westwood in the final and Tiger Woods in the semi-final, with Rory McIlroy also in the line-up. Not bad company for your holiday scorecard.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a proper championship round in Belek, with tour history, pine-lined fairways and water that makes you pick your spots.
Who is it best for?
Low to mid handicappers, and confident higher handicappers, who enjoy plotting their way round and don't mind a few nervy shots when the water starts squeezing the landing areas.
