Most Belek courses are parkland β tree-lined fairways, manicured conditions, shelter from wind. Lykia Links is the opposite in every meaningful way.

After Lykia Links, these are the courses that most golfers add to their Belek itinerary.
Yes β Lykia Links is a genuine links course by every meaningful definition: natural seaside terrain, sandy soil, dune landscape, coastal wind as a major factor, and a ground game that rewards low running shots. It was designed by American links specialist Perry O. Dye specifically to emulate the links experience in a Mediterranean setting. It is not a links-style parkland course β it is the real thing.
Lykia Links has a similar feel to classic links golf β coastal wind, natural terrain, ground game options β but in a Mediterranean climate. The main differences are the weather (more reliable, warmer) and the price (significantly cheaper than comparable Scottish or Irish links). Experienced links golfers from the UK and Ireland consistently rate it as a genuine links experience, not a simulation.
A handicap certificate is recommended but not strictly required at Lykia Links. If you don't have a certificate, contact us when booking β we can advise on the best approach and, if necessary, arrange a last tee time slot where the requirement is more relaxed.
Lykia Links is approximately 20 minutes from central Belek by transfer. It is located near Lykia World Antalya resort, further along the coast. We arrange hotel shuttle transfers timed to your tee time β add it at checkout. The slightly greater distance is worth the trip for a course of this quality and uniqueness.
October and November are ideal β the course is at its best, temperatures are perfect (21β26Β°C), and the coastal wind that defines links golf is reliably present. April and May are also excellent. Summer (JulyβAugust) offers the lowest prices (from β¬69) but the heat is significant β book the earliest available tee time if playing in summer.
