Gloria “Old” Golf Course (18 hole, 72 Par, 6492m)

Gloria Golf Club was the first resort in Turkey featuring its own on-site golf course. All 45 holes of the Gloria Golf courses have been carefully designed by the French golf course designer Michel Gayon and the Belgian golf project management company J.N.C International, with the cooperation of Turkish Consultants, to suit the Mediterranean climate and impress even the most demanding golfer. The Gloria courses are amidst the pine forest of Belek, at the foot of Taurus Mountains.

On Gloria Old Course, each hole poses an exciting challenge. Opened in September 1997, Michel Gayon's specialty, the "deep" bunker, the 600 square meter greens and 6 lakes of which the largest is 60,000㎡, are some of the features of the magnificent Gloria Old course. The Old course immediately became a favorite amongst golfers to Turkey, and indeed remains so.

Gloria “New” Golf Course (18 hole, 72 Par, 6350m)

The Gloria New Golf Course is part of the multi-course Gloria Golf complex. Opened in 2005, the course has already hosted a number of international competitions, including the European Senior Tour Classic in 2007 and the World Amateur Team Championship in 2012.

Although it is not the hardest course in the Belek area, it has been designed to allow most golfers to test their skills or warm-up before progression onto some harder hitters.

Like many of Belek’s courses, the Gloria New course is nestled amongst the area’s natural pine trees, with beautiful rolling fairways and stunning vistas. What sets the Gloria New course apart from its contemporaries is the use of dramatic elevated tees on some holes, tricky doglegs which require careful thought and challenging water holes which call for the utmost precision.
