Golf at Sueno Hotels Golf Belek
At Sueno Golf the clubhouse and the hotel are the same building. You walk down from reception to the pro shop, and the first tee is a few minutes away. There is no morning coach, no waiting for a transfer back, and nothing to organise between rounds.
Two 18-hole courses start from that clubhouse. The Pines is the longer championship test at par 72 and 6,413 metres, routed through mature umbrella pines. The Dunes is shorter at par 69 and 5,643 metres, with more water in play and a friendlier card for higher handicaps. Both were designed by Andrew Craven and opened in 2007. Nineteen lakes run through the site, and the island greens you see from the clubhouse terrace are the holes most golfers remember.
With 36 holes on the doorstep, a week here rarely feels repetitive. Most groups alternate between the two courses and use the Dunes for a relaxed afternoon round.
Practice facilities
The practice area is one of the best in Belek. The putting green covers 5,000 m², the largest single practice green in the region, and the short-game area has two target greens with bunkers and marked distances from 20 to 60 metres. The driving range has room for 50 players on grass and 40 on mats. Lessons are available with resident professionals who speak English and German.
The hotel
Sueno Hotels Golf Belek is a five-star resort with 174 rooms, built for golfers rather than adapted for them. Rooms facing the course and the golf terrace are its best-known features. Our packages use Standard Land View rooms of 30 to 35 m², each with a balcony and either one double or two single beds. Golf View rooms of 35 to 45 m², facing the course, are available for a supplement of €10 / £10 per person per night.
Board is ultra all inclusive. The Birdie Bar and Birdie Restaurant on the lake below the clubhouse are included for hotel guests, and in the high season there is a weekly evening for golfers staying in the hotel. The spa has an indoor pool that is heated from November to March, a hamam and a sauna; massages and treatments are extra.
Beach and Sueno Deluxe next door
Golfers staying here can also use the larger Sueno Hotels Deluxe Belek, 400 metres away, and its Blue Flag sandy beach. Free buggy shuttles run between the two hotels all day, so partners who do not play have plenty to do while you are on the course.

The beach, the outdoor pools and the seasonal restaurants are at their best from April to October. In winter some outdoor facilities may close depending on the weather, while the indoor pool, the spa and the golf keep running all year.
When to go
Spring and autumn are the classic seasons, and winter is mild enough for golf most weeks, which is why the winter months are our best value here. Between mid-September and mid-October the courses are overseeded in turn: the Pines from 19 to 30 September and the Dunes from 1 to 12 October, so one course is always open. Both courses close in August for maintenance, and in June and July buggies are included in the package price.
Getting there
Antalya Airport is 30 km away, about 30 to 35 minutes by road. Private transfers in both directions are included in every package.
