10 Tips for Your First Golf Round in Belek

⏰

Book the last tee time

Request the last available tee time of the day. There's no one behind you — you can play at your own pace without pressure. Contact us when booking and we'll arrange this with the course.

🚗

Pre-book a buggy

A buggy makes your first round far more enjoyable. You spend less energy walking and more time focusing on your shots. Pre-book at checkout for guaranteed availability.

👕

Dress code matters

All Belek courses require a collared shirt (polo) and proper golf shoes or trainers. Denim jeans and T-shirts are not permitted. Smart casual is fine — you don't need specialist golf clothing.

🌡️

Start early in summer

In July and August, the first available tee time (07:00) is the most comfortable. By 11:00 the heat is significant. In spring and autumn, any tee time works comfortably.

💧

Hydrate constantly

Even in mild weather, 18 holes takes 4–4.5 hours in the sun. Bring at least 1.5 litres of water per person. At courses with a Buggy Bar (Cullinan, Montgomerie), refreshments come to you on the fairway.

🎯

Don't count every shot

For a first round, focus on enjoying the experience rather than your score. Pick up the ball after 7 or 8 shots on a hole and move on — it keeps the group pace up and makes the round more enjoyable.

🏌️

Take a lesson first

Several Belek courses have golf academies. A single 45-minute lesson before your first round makes an enormous difference — you'll understand the basics of grip, stance and swing before stepping on course.

📋

No handicap? Tell us

Most Belek courses recommend a handicap certificate. If you don't have one, contact us when booking and we'll arrange your round on the most suitable course at the last tee time — where the requirement is relaxed.

👟

Footwear

Golf shoes are ideal but not always mandatory. Clean trainers or rubber-soled sports shoes are accepted at most Belek courses. Metal spike shoes are not permitted — soft spikes or spikeless shoes only.

How to Book as a Beginner — Step by Step

Choose a beginner-friendly course

Start with AGC The Pasha (€69), National Golf Club (€79) or Sueno Dunes (€99). All have wide fairways, club rental and a forgiving layout for new golfers.

Email [email protected] and let us know you're a beginner. We'll arrange the last available tee time so you play without pressure from groups behind you.

Add club rental and buggy

Add club set rental and a buggy at checkout. Club sets cost €35–50 depending on course. Buggies make the round more comfortable and let you focus on golf rather than carrying your bag.

Add shuttle transfer

Add hotel-to-course shuttle at checkout. Timed to your tee time, return transfer included. No need to arrange transport separately.

Arrive 30 minutes early

Arrive at the course 30 minutes before your tee time. This gives you time to check in, collect club rental, warm up on the putting green and ask the pro shop any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a handicap to play golf in Belek?

Most Belek courses recommend a handicap certificate, but it is not always strictly enforced for beginners. If you don't have one, contact us when booking. We'll arrange your round at the most suitable course — typically at the last tee time of the day, where the requirement is most relaxed. We book beginners regularly and know which courses are most welcoming.

Do I need to bring my own clubs?

No — every Belek course offers club set rental from €35 per round. Pre-booking through GolfBelek.com guarantees availability, especially in peak season. If you play 5 or more rounds during your stay, it may be worth bringing your own clubs to save on rental costs — but for a first trip, rental is perfectly fine.

How long does 18 holes take for a beginner?

Expect approximately 4.5 to 5 hours for a first round. Playing at the last tee time means no groups behind you, so you can take your time without affecting other players. If you find 18 holes too much, a 9-hole round is possible at all courses — ask us when booking and we'll arrange a shorter round.

Is Belek a good place to learn golf?

Yes — the weather, course conditions and relaxed atmosphere make Belek excellent for learning. Several courses have golf academies (Cornelia has a David Leadbetter Academy). The warm, dry climate means you can focus on your game without worrying about rain or cold. Most courses are also very welcoming of new golfers when booked through us.

What should I wear for golf in Belek?

A collared polo shirt (not a T-shirt), tailored shorts or trousers, and clean trainers or golf shoes. Denim is not permitted. You don't need to buy specialist golf clothing — smart sportswear is perfectly acceptable at all Belek courses. In summer, light colours and sun protection are important.
