The resort of Belek, on the Mediterranean coast, just 30kms from Antalya, is at the heart of Turkish golf. It’s a carefully planned resort to cater to the needs of golfers. The first golf course opened here in 1994 and in a short time has established itself on the international golf circuit, with fourteen world class courses, including one designed by the celebrated golfer Nick Faldo, and another by Colin Montgomerie. Other international standard golf courses are dotted around Istanbul, Ankara and the Muğla regions.

In 2008, around 386,000 rounds of golf were played in the Belek region by overseas visitors and this should increase beyond 400,000 green fees in 2009.

Belek: Best Golf Destination In Europe

Dear Golf Lovers,

We, as the Turkish Golf Federation, are very proud to organize the 2012 World Amateur Team Championship in Turkey. This great success following the selection of Turkey as the “Best Golf Destination in Europe 2008” by IAGTO is an important indicator of world’s appreciation for the dedicated efforts of Turkish Golf Federation, established in 1996 as one of the youngest federations in the world of golf as well as golf in Turkey that has made considerable progress in a very short time.

Some of the reasons for Turkey’s selection as the country to host this important organization, among many others, are as follows; Turkey’s experience in hosting international sports events, the fact that golf is the most rapidly developing sports branch, the increasing number of perfectlydesigned golf courses, the selection of Turkey as the most rapidly developing golf country in Europe and our treasures of young population, cultural heritage and natural assets.
