Gloria calls itself Turkey’s first and only 45-hole golf facility: 45 holes, three courses and a covered range with TrackMan on every bay, all wrapped around its own hotels in Belek. The Old Course opened in September 1997 and is the club’s original layout, a pine-lined par 72 with views to the Taurus Mountains. The handicap limits are more relaxed than at many neighbours, 36 for men and 40 for ladies, which makes it a good choice for mixed-ability groups. You can play the Old, the New and the nine-hole Verde in one stay.
Gloria Golf Club (Old Course) green fees and tee times.
Gloria does not publish green fees or an online tee sheet on its website. Request a tee time through the club’s “Let Us Contact You” form or by phone on +90 242 710 06 06, or book a stay-and-play package at a Gloria hotel or with a Belek golf operator. Visitors staying at other hotels can play, according to third-party booking listings such as Leading Courses; the club’s own pages do not spell this out. Bring a handicap certificate: the limit is 36 for men and 40 for ladies on all three courses. Prices are quoted on request, so ask for the rate for your exact dates, and check which of the Old and New is closed for maintenance when you travel.
The courses at Gloria Golf Club (Old Course).
Old Course
Opened in 1997, par 72 and 6,529 metres, with six lakes among tall pines and Bermuda greens. The club’s first course, and the one with the most mature trees. Handicap limits are 36 for men and 40 for ladies. In 2026 it closed for overseeding from 10 to 21 September, reopening on 22 September, with no buggies for a week afterwards.
New Course
Popular since 2005, par 72 and 6,523 metres across 700,000 square metres of pine forest, with seven lakes covering 57,000 square metres. It takes turns with the Old for maintenance; in 2026 it closed from 22 September to 6 October for overseeding, plus two fortnights in summer.
Verde Course
A nine-hole par 35 of 2,923 metres, useful for a late-afternoon loop, a first round after a flight or for less experienced players. The handicap limits match the 18-hole courses, 36 for men and 40 for ladies.
The round, in perspective.
The Old Course covers 772,000 square metres, with six lakes totalling around 60,000 square metres of water, and is par 72 at 6,529 metres. Greens and fairways are Bermuda grass. Course listings credit the French architect Michel Gayon with the 1997 design. The fairways are lined with mature pines, so the trees rather than the wind shape most shots, and the lakes come into play on approaches as much as off the tee. The club also stages its own Gloria Özaltın Championship, listed for 2025 and 2026, so ask whether event days fall in your week.

Make the trip work.
Maintenance is staggered, so one 18-hole course is normally open, but check the dates. In 2026 the Old closed from 10 to 21 September and the New from 22 September to 6 October, and buggies were banned for seven days after each reopened. The covered range has 48 bays, each with a 27-inch screen and TrackMan radar, and saves your yardages to a TrackMan account, a handy way to check club distances on day one. There are also five putting greens, six bunker greens and seven chipping areas. The academy offers free golf lessons, individual lessons and four-day lesson packages.
Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 40 kilometres west, a transfer of 40 to 45 minutes. Gloria is at the eastern end of Belek’s main tourism road, beyond the Montgomerie Maxx Royal. Gloria’s hotels arrange transfers for guests, and other Belek hotels are a short taxi ride away.
Three Gloria hotels share the golf: Gloria Golf Resort, Gloria Serenity Resort and Gloria Verde Resort, and the group also rents villas. Staying with Gloria makes it simple to arrange golf, transfers and tee times through one desk. The group’s Gloria Sports Arena, with its football centre, is part of the same estate, which helps if part of your party is not golfing.
Make a trip of it.
The Montgomerie Maxx Royal is the nearest neighbour to the west, and Lykia Links, the area’s one true seaside layout, is about 15 minutes east, a good contrast to Gloria’s pines. Cornelia and the National complete a five-course week. Off the course, the old harbour town of Side is about half an hour east, and the Manavgat waterfall is a short detour on the way.
Find your season.
October to November and February to May are the most popular months. In 2026 the New Course also shut for two summer fortnights, from 23 June and from 4 August. Midwinter days are mild, and the covered TrackMan range works in any weather.
Three: the Old Course (18 holes, 1997), the New Course (18 holes, in use since 2005) and the nine-hole Verde. Together they make 45 holes, which the club describes as the first and only 45-hole facility in Turkey.
What handicap do you need to play Gloria?
Men need a handicap of 36 or better and ladies 40 or better. The same limits apply on the Old, New and Verde courses. The limits are printed on each course page, so they apply whether or not you stay at a Gloria hotel.
How much are Gloria green fees?
Gloria does not publish rates online. Phone the club on +90 242 710 06 06 or use its contact form for a quote. Many golfers book through Gloria hotel packages or Belek tour operators, which bundle rounds with accommodation.
When is the Gloria Old Course closed?
In 2026 it closed for winter overseeding from 10 to 21 September and reopened on 22 September. Buggies were not allowed for seven days after that. Check the new dates for 2027 before booking a September trip.
