Host venue to the Turkish Airlines Open on the European Tour in 2016 to 2018, Carya Golf Club is unique in Belek, as the design was inspired by the famous Surrey heathland courses in England including Wentworth, Sunningdale, Walton Heath & Swinley Forest.
Arriving at the Carya Golf Club guests pass along the tree lined avenue the end of which, opens on to the magnificent setting of the Clubhouse. On entry into the Clubhouse guests know they have arrived somewhere special with the decor creating the ambience of an established, traditional golf club with many years of history.
As a testament to the setting, service and attention to detail at the Carya many national and international stars and dignitaries are regularly seen at the Club. It was here during the G20 Summit 2016, the Turkish President, Recep Tayip Erdoğan held a private meeting with the American President, Barak Obama on the terrace overlooking the 18th green.
The Carya Golf Club was the first in Europe to provide night-time golf under floodlights for all 18 holes. This, for many is a once in a lifetime experience. The floodlights are set at a height which allows the players to follow the flight of the ball.
The Carya Golf Club is part of the Regnum Hotel Group privately owned by the Ozturk family, who since expanding into tourism have always demanded everything be to the highest level of quality, service and luxury.
