The island green at the 165 yard 17th is the hole that stays in the mind at Gloria New Course. It calls for a committed tee shot, with water punishing any misjudgement in distance. That theme runs through Michel Gayon’s par 72 design, where seven lakes cover 57,000 square metres and come into play throughout the round. From the back tees the course reaches 7,133 yards, although four tee positions allow a group of differing handicaps to find a sensible challenge. Pine trees frame broad landing areas, while undulating ground, bunkering and protected Bermuda grass greens place the emphasis on a well-positioned approach. The fairways are also Bermuda grass, giving the course a consistent playing surface across its 18 holes.
Part of Gloria Golf Club’s 45-hole set-up, the New Course can be paired with the Old and Verde courses during a longer stay in Belek. It has welcomed European Senior Tour events and the World Amateur Team Championship, and remains a proper test for holiday golfers.
Gloria Golf Resort sits alongside the club, so the journey from the final green to a drink or meal is a short one. The shared clubhouse has changing rooms, lounges, terrace dining, a restaurant, bar and pro shop. At the resort, accommodation extends across 511 rooms, suites and villas, including King Suites and the Owner, Executive and Gloria Villas. It is a straightforward base for a golf break built around repeat rounds, practice in the morning and an unhurried evening after the course.
