Cullinan Links Golf Club

Challenging without being overly difficult

A well maintained course with a fair degree of difficulty. A challenge with being ultra hard.

Allowing people to tee off early is ok, but they need to be made aware of what is happening in front. We followed a 4 ball in a competition and the round was 5 hours!

Unhappy that we had to pay for orange juice when we were not playing as it was supposed to be all inclusive Also paired up with a husband and wife team thought we had booked a two ball Also due to pro am we had to go to Sueono pine corse agian joined by another couple this time we were in a buggy and they were walking slow play

Fantastic experience, excellent quality overall and great value for money and the buggies were also included, as was lunch which was a real bonus and not expected.

Average

Another fantastic course in tip top condition. Fast testing greens and course contours made playing great. Highly recommend.

Brilliant course in great condition. Testing for all levels of golfer. Buggies were brand new. ( remember to update you golf watches as two courses had been rejigged and distances didn’t work).

The two courses have been split from last year , so 9 from aspendos is now with 9 from Olympos , 16 of us personally thought this made a great improvement and somehow made it even more enjoyable, again both in fantastic condition and definitely returning next year

A club golfers course that is tricky , fair , but won’t beat you up , great condition and work being done on it all the time but never interfering with your round

Enjoyable round with good service and facilities

Super coirse

On both rounds we expected to play with another couple, but finished up as a two ball. This meant endless waiting for numerous four balls ahead. Very frustrating.

Buggies not allowed on fairways first round (which we knew about in advance) -plus lack of GPS distance measurement (Bushnell does not work) made judgement / club selection very difficult. Distances given on tee signs seem way out.

Great course and well managed

Great condition and setting. Only slight negative was the time taken for rounds but given the mix of buggies and walkers that’s to be expected. Moses the beer man made any delays much more manageable!

Great course for the final day of your trip as it’s less challenging than the others

A great experience for your golfing day out, whether you’re an accomplished golfer or one of your less experienced golfers. The views around the course are stunning The fairways run true the greens immaculate with flag positions that give you a good test with the putter. The staff at the beginning and end of your round could not be more helpful. The shop has a huge selection of golfing Merchandise from hats shoes, shirts and gloves, to markers, pitch repairers and golf clubs. The 19th hole has all that you would want after a great round of golf. Great food a refreshing drink and a relaxing sit under the shade watching your fellow golfers finish their own round of golf.

The layout of the course had been changed and play was over 2 x nine holes from Olympos and Aspendos. The Aspendos course had just finished maintenance which made both 9's different condition. The course itself was good. Highly recommended as a hotel course

The first day we played all 18 holes on this course. The next 2 days the back nine was closed so we had to play the back nine of the Aspendos. Then for the forth round the front nine of the Olympos and the back nine of the Aspendos became the course from then on, I suppose until all the maintenance is finished. So I was very disappointed not to be able to play the 36 holes on the two courses.

We never got to play the 18 holes due to maintenance. We only played the back nine.

Course wasn’t that challenging but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Again we were disappointed to find out on arrival that buggies & refreshments were not included in the all-inclusive package.

My general comments about Aspendos apply here. This course is a different challenge and needs a bit more precision off the tee and has less water to navigate. Lots of enjoyment and opportunities for golfers of all abilities.

Buggy transfer from the hotel was quick and easy. Clubhouse staff were great and we were able to leave our clubs overnight and they were cleaned and on our buggy ready for the next morning. You can walk the course but a buggy is preferable, if only for the pace of play in the heat. The course is in excellent condition and real credit should go to the greenkeepers. The layout is a challenge for a range of golfing abilities, with a number of options for playing some well designed holes. Getting into the trees or rough is not too punitive. There are opportunities for the thrill of playing over water!

Always a good starting round for the holiday. Not too hard and generally not too busy. Course is in good condition overall and the greens are actually better than some of the courses you’d pay a lot more for. Drink and food included at the clubhouse for those playing golf only. Beware if you take anyone else (in our case, our wives) as the will charge you for everything for them and prices are a good bit more expensive than some other clubhouses. That said, the food is very good and the views over the Olympus course from the outside terrace make it a nice place to sit after your round. Would recommend to anyone, especially those looking a for a forgiving course.

Good layout good course better of the two.

Very good but not blown away.

Great club house Course not too difficult with some good risk and reward short Par 4 holes Good value

Good holiday Golf course A little short but good condition overall

The Olympus course presented a greater challenge, being slightly harder and longer than its sister course. Nevertheless, it was in excellent condition, with perfect greens that catered to all skill levels, from high handicappers to lower ones. It truly tested everyone, and we received absolutely no complaints from the twelve guests. The clubhouse is exceptional. We were fortunate to have an all-inclusive package, which allowed us to enjoy a superb lunch upon arrival. After our rounds, we were treated to an incredible dinner. The service, the staff, and the clubhouse itself all exceeded expectations, earning a five-star plus rating. I wholeheartedly recommend playing these courses. My primary concern regarding this course is the presence of public or hotel residents walking along the sides of the fairways, especially with children nearby or within hitting distance from the teeing off position. It appears that insufficient consideration has been given to this aspect of the course.

Cullinan features two courses that we had never played before, so as you can imagine, we were eagerly looking forward to our experience, and it certainly met all of our expectations. The courses were in excellent condition, with the greens being perfect and offering a great speed that was just right for amateurs to get a taste of how the pros must feel. The clubhouse is absolutely outstanding. We were fortunate to have an all-inclusive package, which allowed us to enjoy lunch upon arrival—this was superb. After completing our rounds, we were also able to have dinner, which was incredible. The service, the staff, and the clubhouse itself were all five-star plus. I would definitely recommend playing these courses.

Excellent links by the beach course . Great food and drink . Golf beer cart all in too. Great course .

Make sure you pre book buggies

Excellent facilities. Good greens and some nice holes. Fair challenge for all levels of golfers.

A good resort course in very nice condition. Clubhouse is excellent.

A good resort course.

Played twice first round fairly easy but two days later wind got up and a totally different game

Glorious weather , greens very true and quick

Good tour course, nothing particularly outstanding but nothing to complain about, just suits the higher handicap, short from the yellow tees, we were discouraged from playing off whites by marshals, and setup

Good tour course, better than Olympos - more interesting design. Discouraged from playing off whites so course is not long. Facilities for both resort course excellent.

Beautiful course with stunning mountain views but there are quite a few blind shots and if you play it off the yellows you can drive the greens or get very close and needs a few bells on the course to signal when to go as we had four situations where we thought it was clear and the group in front was still in range but due to them being blind tee shots we couldn’t see them hence they could do with bells and the pace of play was awful 5.30 hours to play a 6000 yard golf course is not good they were sending groups off every four minutes I would suggest tee off before 8.30am and you will fly round after 9 am your screwed

Beautiful golf course great holiday course in fantastic condition but not going to beat you up the handicap index on all courses off the yellows need looking at as I’m at 6.7 at the moment and had to play off 2 and it’s not that easy

Another enjoyable course which was in great condition. Staff were excellent too!

A very nice holiday golf course, suits all handicaps.

As it’s not a long course there can be hold ups waiting for greens to clear, but it is holiday golf.

Enjoyed the course it was in as good condition but greens had a lot of unrepaired pitch marks. Not as good condition as the Aspendos but we thoroughly enjoyed our rounds and took around 4 hours.

Course was in fantastic condition the green were very slick and we enjoyed our two rounds. We were in a group of 6 so paired up with another two on each round and although we tried to get 2 three also this was not possible. It was a bit slow took 5 hours for our round and most 4balls.

I thought this course was the better of the two and it was lovely playing beside the sea and the view of the snow capped mountains contrasted with the deep blue sea Very enjoyable I would also add the golf clubhouse was situated in a great position as you could have food and drink post round watching the players putt out

The course was short but the difficulty on the greens made up for it

By far the best course we played! We liked it so much that we extended an extra day at Cullinan to play the course again. I'll say it again; we extended our stay just to play this course a second time. Let that sink in...

First time playing night golf and I wonder why it's not a norm in golf...

The best club house by far! Wish we played the other course

Well we didn’t get to play the whole course because of the bad weather, but I’ve played it before & it’s great.

Course was great, not many trees, plenty of water. Everything was lovely.

Enjoyed the course

This course was better than anticipated, challenging start, water features on many holes, greens were very quick lots of variety, good short holes. Green fees covered all golf, course drinks food and clubhouse food and drink. Very good value as all were good quality. Buggies 50 euros which was a consistent feature of whole week and a bit steep.

Its a typical holiday golf course

This was a nice course but not my favourite. Didn’t have the hole variation of the Pasha, Maxx or Sultan but still very good quality and well maintained. Playing under floodlights for the last few holes was an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Too slow, waited every shot, didn’t complete round list will -

Absolutely fabulous !

As above, great course. Buggies overpriced.

Loved the course. Club house amazing, you can eat and drink there included in the all inclusive, whilst playing. Disappointed by the charge for buggies £50 on the day, £60 if you reserve one. Mega expensive. Buggies £40 every other course!!

Course great condition lovely staff and facilities

Challenging without being too difficult for my level of golf ,the clubhouse facilities were first class and the service excellent , the golf shop was well stocked but overpriced .

Enjoyed the two rounds refreshments were very welcome

Lovely setting and quite hilly in places with lots of water! A few daft holes where you can’t see your ball once on the green that then quickly disappeared ! A bit dangerous in places with hotel guests wandering across the course who are oblivious even when you shout fore!! Would defo play this course again though.

Our playing partners didn’t show so we were a 2 ball in a packed course. 5 hour round that played last 2 holes in the dark. Lovely setting, amazing views and easy holiday golf. Only downside was the oaths where hotel guests could wander who were oblivious to the dangers of flying golf balls. Would defo play this course again.

Good course no wait for buggy’s

Easy course , had to hire buggy’s none available when we arrived

Nice pleasant course, looked after well on the course and pace of play was good

As usual the coarse was in pristine condition, the staff at the club house are always happy to help with anything that you need, Just perfect every time I have played.

Didn’t play this course myself but the boys who played it said it was very good

Unfortunately course work was being carried out during our stay, so we did not get to play this course

This course is a pleasure to play with a layout that offers a few more trees in places and slightly narrower fairways. The bunkers are well-maintained and enjoyable to play out of. The layout appears to be straightforward but you have to think your way around this course.

The course is suitable for all levels of play and is both challenging, and fun to play. The layout is excellent offering different challenges and a full range of shots needed. Water comes into play on a number of holes but is interesting rather than daunting.

Excellent test in the wind

Great condition, friendly staff, overall very good.

Quite short without the views of Olympus. What destroyed it was 5 hrs 25 min round. Eight buggies on each hole from 14th.

Great views. Great condition. Shortish course but good fun

Everything was fantastic

Brilliant condition great course

Better course than Aspendos but many short par 3’s. Taken off at third hole during our last round due to severe adverse weather, negotiated 9 holes as recompense. Similar issue with our Garmin watches as previously described. Lots of people had the same issue with their watches. Could have been advised of this in advance.

Course too short although in great condition. GPS watches didn’t work although they were up to date. We learned you needed to pay the pro 10 euros to update each watch on the last day. Clubhouse very nice

This course was more in land and was a different experience to Olympus. Staff were great and very professional

So beautiful right next to the beach and along the review.

12/10 and lots more

My son who is 11years old gave him good experience and gave him lots of confidence.I really enjoyed all of it. Good experience doing night golf as well,.Brill

Wasn’t advised of the cost of buggies which were €50 each per round

Loved this course on the waterfront....some great holes

More parkland than links but a lovely course but quite short but tricky with some tight fairways, trees and water hazards. Greens were very challenging. Club house facilities and restaurant were excellent. Practice facilities are excellent. This is a course to enjoy walking on.

Not quite real links but a lovely course with excellent views and easy layout. Greens were challenging. Club house and practice facilities and restaurant were excellent. This is a course to enjoy walking on.

May have just been a busy day but it was very slow . But again fab course

Good to have a starter and Marshall and drinks delivered . Fab condition and no holdups

Lovely golf club & facilities. Course in great condition albeit greens were slow. Too short on the back nine and fairly easy but great if you have groups with wide ranging handicaps. Club house was all inclusive and food & service were spot on

Short course

Course condition excellent. Lovely views of the sea.

Fun course, very short back 9, all inclusive element is great.

A more difficult course than the Olympos for some as there are more water features in play. By the river, it is perhaps a little less pretty than the Olympos.

A very pretty, fair and enjoyable course. Several rather short par 3 holes, but very good course. Great club house facilities with food and drinks included with the Titanic all inclusive package

The more established of the two courses. Interesting layout offering challenges and rewards for varying levels of ability. The course is well maintained and the greenkeeping staff are friendly and unobtrusive.The clubhouse staff are helpful and friendly. Less water in-play than its sister course, Aspendos but well worth a visit.

This newish course has bedded-in really well. An interesting layout and the greenkeeping staff should be proud of their work. Clubhouse staff are helpful and friendly. Some good chances to score well and water comes into play more than on the Olympos Course. It would be difficult not to enjoy playing here and suitable for all levels of ability.

Again another short course, especially for the ladies, we could have played off the yellows. Lots of water for wayward shots but keep it straight and no bother. Courses were surprisingly quiet and we went out early with no one if front or behind.

It’s a nice holiday course not too challenging and lots of water to drag your ball in. Quite short if your a bit hitter, but lots of hidden bunkers

Short course but very challenging. Would definitely go back

Short but fun

Played in a strong wind for easy to be critical

Well maintained and quick greens

Quite windy but sunny. Shorter course but well maintained

Lovely course not too difficult!

Lovely course right by the sea would play again!

Again in really good nick. Most enjoyable

In really good condition most enjoyable

Two lovely courses

The course and facilities will be very good in a year when main holes opens and they finish bulding work . Also when second course opens. Practice facilities very good. They have a funny way of charging for buggies. They charge in Turkish lira so it is different price every day.

Olympos course was much preferred as greens were in good condition and course was overall better. Aspendos greens were very quick but in bad condition, much shorter overall but was not in best condition. Would not recommend Aspendos for value for money but Olympos worth playing as quite short and forgiving.

Used to have 3 nine hole course that were a good challenge. They have now created 2 eighteen hole courses that are a little on the short side for a true test.

Played the River/Mediterranean course off the white tees, which at just over 6000 metres was not a long course, and the extremely wide fairways made it very playable. The course was let down by the poor condition of the greens, which were 'shaggy' and had different grasses at different points of the course. Bunkers were also poor, with 'soft and spongy' edges that lead to a couple of unplayable plugged lies under the lip. Many of the holes lacked definition due to the acres of space off the tee, and the slightly ugly seaside scrub areas on the Mediterranean 9. There were also many bare patches on fairways that should have been marked 'under repair', but remained in play. Facilities were good - even luxurious, and the value for money was reasonable (€60 green fee included the cart). The course was nearly empty due to the summertime heat (30o plus at 8am!), meaning that it was easy to get round in just over 2 hours as a single. I would say this is a decent resort course, which doesn't pose many challenges off the tee, and would suit higher handicap golfers well. For myself, I prefer the more challenging layouts of the Sultan or National, so I doubt I will be returning for now. Note that the 'Forest' nine was under reconstruction.

The main benefit about Titanic was that we were staying in the adjoining Titanic Hotel. This made things much easier (and cheaper) in the mornings as we were able to jump on the regular golf-buggy shuttle service from one to the other. We played two permutations of the 27 holes - I don't think we could choose, but they were rotated for the second day so it was fine. All three 9s were excellent. We probably preferred The River 9 but more from a views perspective than anything else. Compared with most of the other courses we played this definitely had the least "trouble". Even The Forest 9 was less enclosed than some of the more tree lined courses we played. Only slight annoyance was that it was 35euro for a golf cart on the day or 50euro to book in advance. For our first round they had none available so we walked it. We therefore booked one for the second day and felt like we were being ripped off a little. As will all of the courses, it was back to back 4 balls from ~7.30am until about 10am, and we were held up from time to time as we were a 3 ball.
