NCG Top 100s course rankings Turkey

Turkey has rapidly established itself as one of Europe’s most exciting golfing destinations. With its year-round sunshine and excellent value, the country has become a favourite for travelling golfers, and our NCG Top 100s list of the very best golf courses in Turkey showcases the venues that have driven this remarkable rise.

At the heart of Turkish golf is Belek, on the sun-drenched Antalya coast. This purpose-built golfing haven is home to many of the country’s standout layouts. Carya, a heathland-inspired design, is a jewel in the crown, famous for its floodlit fairways that allow play well into the evening. 

Nearby, the Montgomerie Maxx Royal delivers a bold, strategic test that has hosted European Tour events, while Gloria and Kaya Palazzo offer resort golf that combines quality layouts with luxury service.

For those seeking a different experience, Lykia Links provides a seaside feel, with dunes, breezes and wide fairways that evoke the spirit of links golf. Its rugged setting and natural design have made it a must-play for visitors looking for something beyond the manicured resort style.

What unites Turkey’s best courses is an attention to detail that rivals any golfing destination. Conditioning is consistently superb, and the facilities – from high-end hotels to world-class practice complexes – ensure that the off-course experience is every bit as memorable as the golf itself.

Whether you’re planning a week-long escape in Belek, chasing the challenge of championship venues, or simply looking to enjoy the game in perfect weather, Turkey offers a depth and quality of golf that makes it one of the most compelling destinations in Europe.
