Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa: A Golfer’s Guide to Staying at Cornelia Golf Club, Belek

Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa is a five-star beachfront hotel in Belek with 27 holes designed by Sir Nick Faldo on the same estate, which is why so many golfers choose it for a winter week. The Cornelia Diamond golf resort gives you three different 18-hole courses, a free shuttle to the first tee, a private beach and a large spa. Here is what to expect, and how to get the most from a stay.

Where the resort sits in Belek

Belek is a resort area on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, 25 to 40 km east of Antalya Airport. Its golf courses sit between the pine forest and the beach, and the clubs are a short drive from each other, so wherever you stay you are never far from a tee time.

Cornelia Diamond is on the beach, 35 km from Antalya Airport, which is about 40 minutes by road. Our packages include private transfers, so after landing you go straight to the hotel with your clubs, with no waiting for a coach to fill up. For an overview of the area and the other hotels, see our guide to golf in Belek.

Playing Cornelia Golf Club from the hotel

Cornelia Golf Club has 27 holes, all designed by Sir Nick Faldo and opened in 2007. Rather than one 18 and a separate nine, the three nines are combined into three 18-hole courses, each a par 72:

In practice this means every nine appears in two of the three combinations, but each 18 plays as a different round. Over a week you can rotate King, Queen and Prince and still feel you are seeing variety, without losing time to transfers.

The golf club is on the same estate as the hotel, and a free shuttle runs between the two. That makes early starts easy and lets you get back for lunch, the spa or the beach after your round.

Combining Cornelia with other Belek courses

Many guests play most of their rounds at Cornelia and add a day or two elsewhere. With 10 golf clubs and the equivalent of 16 18-hole courses in Belek, there is plenty of choice within a short drive.

A few ideas for variety:

• Carya Golf Club, a Peter Thomson design whose 18 holes are fully floodlit.
• National Golf Club, which opened in 1994 and was designed by David Feherty and David Jones. The Turkish Airlines Open returns there from 29 April to 2 May 2027.
• Montgomerie Maxx Royal, Colin Montgomerie's course, with nine floodlit holes.
• Antalya Golf Club, with the PGA Sultan and Pasha courses, and Sueno Golf Club, with the Pines and Dunes.

If you like the idea of a late round in the cool of the evening, several Belek clubs have floodlit holes. Our page on night golf in Turkey explains how it works. This table shows the Belek courses side by side:

Who Cornelia Diamond suits best

Couples with a non-golfing partner

This is where the resort is strongest. While one of you plays, the other has the 5,000 m² Crassula Spa, the private beach and the pools. With five à la carte restaurants included in the Diamond All Inclusive board, evenings take care of themselves.

Families

The 5,000 m² kids club, with its own cinema and playground, plus nine slides across the pools, means children are well looked after. That makes Cornelia Diamond a natural choice for half-term or Easter golf with the family.

Golf groups and societies

Groups get one free place for every 7 paying golfers, which helps when you are organising a society trip. Having three 18-hole combinations on the estate also makes it simpler to arrange tee times for a larger party, and the all-inclusive board keeps the bar bill out of the conversation.

What our Cornelia Diamond packages include

Our Belek packages include the hotel, green fees and private transfers. At Cornelia Diamond you stay on Diamond All Inclusive, play the Faldo courses on the estate and use the free shuttle to the golf club.

Packages at Cornelia Diamond start from €760 per person for 2026/27. Prices vary with dates, room type and number of rounds, so the hotel page is the best place to check current rates.

Booking tips for the 2026/27 winter season

The winter season is under way, and these are the points we suggest golfers think about before booking:

• Decide your mix of courses early. If you want to add Carya, National or another club, say so when you enquire so we can plan the rounds around your stay at Cornelia.
• Ask about winter offers. Our winter golf special in Belek page lists the current seasonal deals.
• Check course conditions for your dates. Courses in Turkey go through maintenance and overseeding at certain times of year; our page on course maintenance and overseeding explains what to look out for.
• Count your group carefully. With one free place for every 7 paying golfers, a group of eight can work out noticeably better value than a group of seven.

When you are ready, send us your dates and the number of golfers and non-golfers, and we will put together a Cornelia Diamond package to suit.
