Truly Rewarding Golf Challenges Await in Turkey's Antalya Province

With a formidable concentration of world-class courses to offer, Turkey's Antalya Province has become a major destination for golf holidays. Beautiful Mediterranean weather ensures that those on golf holidays to turkey will be able to enjoy the sport that they so love, and excellent amenities of all sorts round out the experience.

Ultimately, of course, the worth of all inclusive golf holidays to turkey will depend on the quality of golf that is available. At resorts like the province's noted Antalya Golf Club, golf of the highest order is on regular display, ensuring that those who head to the area will have unforgettable experiences.

Many popular All Inclusive Golf packages to Turkey, for example, include rounds at both the Pasha and PGA Sultan layouts at Antalya Golf Club. The Pasha course entices golfers with a wooded, welcoming-seeming arrangement of around 5700 meters, looking at first glance like a fairly laid-back course to come to grips with.

If there is some truth to that initial impression, it is mostly found within the first few holes. The very first hole on the course is a relatively straightforward par 4 that, at just a hair over 400 meters, will reward longer drivers but also accommodate those whose games center more on precision. A beautiful view keeps golfers involved as they move down the fairway, although those whose drives stray to the left will find the approach to the green difficult.

Later on in the front nine, a trick little par 3 provides the Pasha's first in-depth challenges. With water running along 138 yards of the hole's left border, many right-handed golfers will have to fight an all inclusive golf belek urge to block the ball off to the other side. Failing in that respect can be just as dangerous, as a tight out-of-bounds line on that side is just as punishing as the wet stuff.

The front nine finishes with the Pasha's longest par four of all, and the ninth is no less of a pushover in terms of shot placement. A pair of fairway bunkers loom right in the area where many golfers' drives will be landing, leading some local pros to lay up short when wind or other conditions make the hole especially difficult.

The back nine at the Pasha is just as challenging and rewarding, once again providing a good mix of hole layouts and traps for the unwary. The kind of well-rounded golf that can be experienced here, in fact, is pretty well emblematic of what Antalya Province has to offer in general, and speaks to why the area is becoming such a popular golf destination.
