Sueno Hotels Golf Belek

Sueno Hotels Golf Belek is one of the region's most golf-focused resorts, sitting right on its own two 18-hole championship courses - the Pines and the Dunes - both designed by the International Design Group to blend Scottish parkland-style fairways with Belek's pine forests and natural terrain. The Pines plays to a par 72 over 7,013 yards, while the Dunes offers a shorter but still testing par 69 across 6,171 yards, and both share 128 bunkers, 19 lakes and generous 700 square metre greens between them. With the clubhouse just 50 metres from the hotel and golf-view rooms overlooking the 18th greens, this is about as close as a golf holiday gets to staying on the course itself, and it sits within a wider cluster of Belek's finest golf, with National Golf Club, The Montgomerie and Kaya Eagles Golf Club all a short drive away.

Pines is the demanding option from the white tees. Designed by Bob Hunt, it asks for controlled driving through narrow fairways, with bunkers, water and wide sandy waste areas waiting for a loose shot. The 214 yard seventh is a particularly committed par three, requiring a carry over water to a bunker protected green. Dunes, also designed by Hunt, has broader landing areas and rolling fairways shaped around dune style mounding. At 6,171 yards and par 69 from the white tees, it gives more room from the tee without becoming straightforward, especially at the island green par three eighteenth.

There are 174 rooms and suites, from Standard and Senior Rooms to Jacuzzi, King and Royal Suites, each with a balcony, air conditioning, Wi Fi and minibar. Three restaurants, including two à la carte choices, and eight bars give evenings plenty of variety, while the Turkish bath, sauna, steam room and indoor and outdoor pools suit a quieter afternoon. Guests can also use the facilities at neighbouring Sueno Hotels Deluxe Belek, with a shuttle running to its private beach.
