Welcome
Welcome to Destination Golf Turkey 2015
Published in association with The Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture
and Tourism, I would like to welcome you to DG Turkey 2015 magazine,
launched to provide an essential guide to golfing in Turkey.
Across the following 80-pages we hope to educate you about where
to play & stay, whilst giving you a broader understanding of the
quintessential uniqueness of a golf vacation in Turkey.
Located mid-point between the European, Asian and African continents,
Turkey is a cradle of cultures and civilizations, boasting a wondrous
heritage and jaw dropping ancient sites. We hope to explore and
highlight this through our features “A View to Treasure”, “7 Turkeys”,
“Hidden Turkey”, “Picture Perfect Istanbul” and “Seaside Surprises”.
Turkey is well known for its “all-inclusive” product, but our “Turkish
Delights” feature urges you to step outside the front door of your hotel
and enjoy the precious treasure that is Turkish cuisine. With culinary
influences from all over the World, there’s much more than a Turkish
Kebab on offer.
For the travelling golfer, Turkey has golf courses in five different regions.
That said the bulk of these golf courses are located in the Belek area of
Antalya. Affectionally known as the “Turkish Riviera”.
Here you will find fourteen 18-hole championship courses from globally
recognised course designers, all within a short 15km of each other. All
of these courses have been built within the last 20-years together with
high class design golf hotels. It’s no surprise that sun kissed Belek has
quickly established itself as a top golf destination, hosting prestigious
golf tournaments and receiving acclaim from the World’s best golfers.
I hope you enjoy Turkey and all that it has to offer.
