PGA Sultan Course, Antalya GC

Pretty good - only thing was we were 2 x 3 balls and had planned the comps on that basis. We arrived to find that we had been split into a 4 and a 2 and other random 36 hcappers had to join us. Disappointing and disruptive.

beautiful course easy to book in get buggies and on to the tee. great facilities with driving range, chipping and putting areas.

The course was very bare and looked like they were getting it ready for overseeding, there was a lot of sand around the greens so the ball just stopped. The round was extremely slow, with 3 groups waiting on the tee on one of the holes. Very disappointing given the cost charged.

We liked this one

Very good was a bit disappointed we couldn’t book buggies before we came as had difficulty on first day after that we booked them for the rest of time but they charged you an extra 15€ on top of price I think this was a bit excessive

Brilliant course but tough

Best course I’ve ever played. It was in stunning Condition, greens run true and challenging

A great test of golf on a fantastic course.

Sultan is my favourite I base all my comments of how hard on what tees we play which is equivalent of yellow Sultan is a course you need to plot your way round some holes lots of water Just a fantastic course

A bit longer than the Pasha but a great challenge.

Enjoyed the course, challenging in parts but I was disappointed with been charged €50 for a buggy. We were told it was all inclusive including refreshments in the clubhouse but neither was true.

Great round on a course we have played before and condition and service as expected, great day,

A lot tighter than Pasha, water being in play quite a bit makes it a lot more challenging. Greens, fairways and bunkers in fantastic condition.

Golf was good, really nice condition

Loved it done great holes and very pretty

Great course.

They wouldn’t give us a morning T time despite asking repeatedly over 9 months. They had no buggies for us on arrival and we had to negotiate hard to get 2 for our start, then they brought the other 2 out onto the course later. The starter on the first was very rude and disrespectful to us, not allows us to T-off until we had paid for the 2 buggies that had not yet been delivered to us - refusing to believe us that the pro-shop had told us to pay after 9 holes. Argued vehemently with us. Not impressed by his poor behaviour and lack of customer service. Tees were in poor condition too.

Course in great shape as always.....again Buggies an issue.

Definitely want to play this game

Good course , buggy prices €55 Friday , €65 Saturday ….. total rip off tbh

People say that this is a tough ... well it is if you slice the ball loads of water and tight. Tee boxes where a mess weeds everywhere. Still a nice course though

Great golf course. My dad and I had a great time there.

Played this course from gold tees so approx 6600yds and definitely tighter than Pasha but good test and plenty water 💦 not sure of slope ratings seemed to lose few shots compared to courses in UK 🇬🇧 Only give greens rating of 4 as even though immaculate did expect them to be quicker when putting

Another wow moment when you arrived. However. Have to say the staff on this course does not match that of Faldo. Maybe because we tee’d off super early and they wasn’t awake yet. But it’s amazing how the staff at these places can set the tone. They were much better on the way in it has to be said. Course however was again phenomenal. Loved every second of playing it Great greens, fairways and tee boxes. Another must play when in Turkey

Difficult course but in great condition. Clubhouse is excellent also

Overall a great set up and course. Our best of the week. Would be top of the list for any future visits.

First class from start to finish.

Really enjoyed this course. Good condition and quite challenging (mainly the water hazards!!).

Hard but loved it challenging green's hard but true

Superb course. Great condition. More challenging than The Pasha as water. Everywhere . A good experience.

Great course with the right level of challenge for a mid to low handicapper.

One of the oldest & toughest courses in Belek. Has a mixture of everything and lots of blind pot bunkers that you will need to keep away from.

Played twice, once off front and off back tees. Course lacked variety. Greens slower than Pasha. Decent course but didn't match its reputation as 3rd best in Antalya.

This is a beautifully designed course in great condition. Unfortunately our round was spoiled as we followed a group where one guy had clearly never play before and took an age to hit the ball 50 yards at a time. He should never have been allowed on the course - not a place to learn golf. The Marshall spoke to him but did not either remove him or force them to let us play through. A real shame that lack of course management partly spoiled our experience.

Fantastic & fair

There are no visuals of hole layouts on the score cards or at the tees (unlike Pasha), so no clue about location of hazards. Constantly found good shots penalised in hazards we were unaware of. Not good enough. Some staff not very friendly.

High quality course in great condition.

The Sultan Course is a great layout. Choosing the correct tees is crucial for enjoyment. The condition was good. No buggies available when we arrived due to overseeding of course. Had to take a trolley.

We played two rounds. The first round was on my partners birthday, not very clear upon arrival where to go or what to do. No guidance on where the driving range is or putting greens available, just check you in and leave you to it. Left our clubs outside to find when we came out that they had vanished, turns out they pop them on a buggy for you (heart failure). Very friendly team who attend to the buggies. Upon arriving to tee off we were told I couldn’t play golf if I didn’t have a collared shirt on, thankfully they had some in the pro shop for €15. No where mentioned you had to wear a collared top and I was in golf wear which was modest and smart. The greens were not in the best condition and it was very dry, despite them watering with sprinklers that were powerful. We had a nice match regardless. The second round (now more aware of what to do) was smoother, we were paired with a German pair who were very nice. We hired golf buggies both times, but on this occasion our buggy died on the 7th hole after beeping at us and losing power. No one around to get help from, my partner had to go to the villas to find staff to radio back for help. Took them nearly 20 minutes to come out. Once we had a new buggy, we were then told by the range warden to hurry up!!! It was fairly rude. Again a nice round but ruined the game for us all. Returning to the clubhouse once completed, we complained and eventually got some money back but not the full amount as requested. I would imagine this should be a nice course but was fairly disappointing. Some beautiful holes with good views however and plenty of spots to stop and get water complimentary throughout which was a nice touch.

This was a bit disappointing we were behind people who clearly had no idea how to get round a golf course we spoke to the course marshall but he did nothing about it we only managed 16 holes as we ran out of daylight, the people in front were non golfers who should not have out there, the golf club was clearly only interested in the money they paid not everyone else's experience, I did raise this point with the club manager and he just shrugged his shoulders.

Always a challenging course but most enjoyable. Due to the difficulty of the course two of the group were less enthusiastic about it but I found it a top class course.

A slightly harder course than Pasha due to its length from tee to green. again a beautiful course and we would play again in a heart beat !!

Wonderful course. I have rated it as hard but I played to my handicap of 18. You just have to be straight and avoid the water hazards. The greens are true and in great condition. There was maintenance on the course in October so we couldn’t have buggies which made it tougher in the heat but we still enjoyed it. Plenty of toilet facilities and free water bottles. I would definitely come back to play this course.

Transfer to this course was very good. The welcome and service we received was also very good. The only downside on our second visit was that work had begun on the perimeter of the greens which provided quite a rough area between the greens fairways and the greens. Overall a very good golfing experience.

The course does need a bit of tlc. Tees were quite bad with divets which were not repaired. Faireways and bunkers were in pretty good order, geens were very slow and very difficult to play on. And talking to others golfers, this was a common thing accross few golf courses in the area. Also there was hardly any water provided on few tees and in the heat that we had, no water and no cooler box on the buggy made it a bit more difficult

Narrow fairways but a good mixture of holes, we played at 0900 and got round in 3.45hrs

Excellent condition some tricky holes. On course facilities excellent

What a course. Water plays a big part and you have to plot your way around a few of the holes. 16 and 18 are brilliant. Really good course in good condition.

Played this course twice first occasion it proved very difficult for our ability ;more enjoyable on second round definitely a challenge

The man in the pro shop needed to turn his head upside down Miserable would be an under statement But Nadin was good very help man

A prettier course with some fantastic holes. I particularly liked the par 5 16th. Greens were true and it felt different to the Faldo in terms of test.

Lots of water, but despite that a lovely track in very good condition.

Challenging course, especially off the back tees.

Great course , great condition and experience even though my worst scores. Also played in 2 x 3 balls as expected.

A long course with a lot of water, great condition thou , a lot of houses getting built around it

5hrs but they did let us play as three 3 balls

disappointed that there are now lots of bungalows being built around the course

See comment on buggies for Pasha.

Lot of water

Great testing holiday golf course

My favourite course of the tour - I had played it 18 years previously but had little memory. Greens exceptional - best of all courses we played. Course management critical - enjoyed the challenge of avoiding the numerous water features!! For occasional golfers recommend forward tees whereas more regular golfers will find the middle tees about right. Only sadists would use the back tees on all the courses…😉😉 We were a mixed group and both men and women thoroughly enjoyed the tour - many thanks to YGT

Second time playing this course and I do not agree that it is in the top 5 courses in Turkey, tired in places, slow greens and bunkers with two much sand. one of the buggies broke down and we had to carry, reported it to the staff who did not care and pretended not to understand English. Will not be going back.

Sultan was a great challenge. Brutal in places but you can't help but admire its sheer quality. Exceptional layout, quality condition. No1 in Turkey for sure!

Another wonderful course. Not quite on the level of Maxx and Carya but you'd have a tough job on your hands in any case. Still fantastic track, greens were brilliant and condition overall very good!

Some great water features zbd challenges

Water in play on 8 holes, some of which are really tricky. Nice layout but definitely one of the harder courses you’ll ever play. Ok if you’re playing well, but not if you’re having an off day. Don’t know how Lee Westwood managed to go round it in 63 off the the back tees!

Beautiful course but tee time was late and finished the round in almost pitch black.

Lots of water all expertly placed for me to find on this round.

Unfortunately our first round here started in heavy rain which lasted for at least an hour and a half. Construction work around a few of the holes did not help. A lot of lost balls all in the water hazards. Second time round the weather was much improved and we also made a decision to play from the blue tees. This was a good choice for our standard of golfer and made for a very enjoyable experience and a lot less lost balls!

Golf experience was great,cost of the buggies were extortionate!

A good challenge, excellent course with some degree of difficulty.

Enjoyable

Very testing!!

Found the carries over water on some holes, particularly the 16th, very intimidating.

Despite booking in January our tee times were near the end of the playing day ie 12.00 - 12.40 so the speed was what you'd expect because the course was full.

Wonderful condition all round. Tough but fair test.

Loved it tough course need to think where to hit your ball to get round

A well laid out course. A proper test of golf. On the day we played it was a bit slow for our liking.

Greens occasionally varied in pace. However, the overall condition was excellent.

Fairway bunkers galore loved playing here definitely on list for next year.

No electric trolley but pull trollies very well balanced and quite a flat course.

Due to the difficulty of the course the rounds on the Sultan were longer than on the Pasha but as the sun was shining it was not a major issue. The reduced 5th hole, due to building work on a nearby hotel, caused us some concern as the distances were inaccurate. It was also a bit dangerous when teeing off at the 6th as it was very close to the 5th green. Something that may have to be addressed.

Wonderful course in great condition, quite difficult for a high handicapper

Some great holes Bermuda grass a great challenge to play on

Great course

Probably one of the more difficult courses we played, lots of water, but really enjoyed the challenged

Course in poor condition

Disappointing in comparison to the other courses - but they set the bar very high. Not enough watering of course, grass cut too short and the hole by the Kempinski building site particularly disappointing.

Great golf course

Course challenging and in decent condition. Staff ok until they jumped to attention to look for tips.

Perfect course for the lower/average handicapper. Great condition and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Beautiful course, well kept. Only the hidden water which steals your balls spoils this.

We chose the forward tee blue to start our first round because we watched the group in front tee off from the blues. Not many hit the fairways. My group were a lot more successful so on our second round went back to the yellow tees which our low handicappers thought gave them the advantage. Actually the results found no difference in average scores. There were a few bare/brown areas on the greens but not near the holes. A couple of the tees were being worked on and had little grass. A genuine good test of golfing ability The sixteenth and eighteenth particularly testing holes. After the round of golf we had to pay for our drinks before going back to the Hotel this was a little disappointing as we were staying in the hotel.

Not sure i have ever had such a bad experience on a golf course, there was plenty of warnings about slow play through out the course which was nonsense as on this occasion the Marshall out on the course plainly ignored slow play, we got stuck behind a 4 ball on the 10 th tee who flatly refused to let anybody through, i think by the time we reached the 12th there was 4 groups on the one hole. I had enough bythe 15th and drove up and asked them to let us through as they were holding up the whole course and they replied “ oh really we didn’t realise”. To be fair i played this course last year and had no problems, the condition of the course was decent although the greens were a bit patchy this time around, would play it again but with a much earlier tee time

We played twice, the first time I played off the yellow tees and it was too long for me. The second game I played off blue tees and it made a big difference and I really enjoyed it.

Nice course not easy

Loved the course would definitely go back.

All 1st class. Highly recommended.

Always in great condition

Golf course was in very good condition. After a gentle start it tends to get tighter and a few sneaky hidden bunkers come into play. Greens were at a nice pace and good to putt on. Practise facilities are first class. Only problem is that holiday golfers think its normal to take between 4 1/2 hours to over 5 hours.

Tight Fairways , better challenge off the back tees

Very good

Nice challenging course. Think I struggle with hire clubs that day as lost 6 balls in water mostly due to a fade I was struggling to control :)

Excellent layout in great condition even after heavy rain. Well spaced bathrooms and halfway house

Terrific course. Played off back black tees. Fantastic as very few people choose to play blacks so every tee was absolutely pristine including par 3s. Long way round so bring your best driving game.

Missed last hole as we never teed off until 1.45pm. Nice course.

Beautiful course and very well managed. Group enjoyed this day out

Course was in amazing condition but greens were not amazing but only due to amount of play and pitch marks had not been repaired (spent my round repairing atleast 5 on every green) so condition due to poor etiquette. Course was far too overbooked and round took 5 hours 40 minutes. Most times 3 groups were stuck on the same holes. Value for money for the course was good but drinks were not included so €5 for a beer on course was quite pricey considering the price of the round.

Played from the back tees the course was pretty long, particularly the par threes, with three well over 200 yds. It was a fair test, with some pretty wide fairways, and well positioned hazards, but enough challenge to make it interesting. Playing in August, the greens had been aerated a week or so prior, so were playing quite slow (maybe touching 8 stimp) with a lot of grain, although rolling pretty well, considering. I played on my own at 8.30am and there were only two other groups on the course, both of which let me through immediately, so pace of play was fast and I finished in around 2hrs 15 minutes. The clubhouse had a bit of renovation going on ahead of the season opening on 1st September, but was in good condition, with excellent changing facilities and a welcoming bar. The staff were very engaging and I was given a complimentary coffee before play. Bar menu was on the expensive side, but not extortionate, and the manager was happy for me to bring my family (with young children) for lunch. Value for money was good - green fee through YGT was around €60 and there was a summer deal on for a cart for €10. Overall an excellent experience, and I will be back on future trips.

This is a fantastic course! There’s water EVERYWHERE and it’s quite long for most average players so it’s a real test of golf...and your nerve!

I’d advise buying a course planner for the Sultan as there are no hole maps on the tees. Each hole is well secluded so even when the course is full it seems like you are playing all on your own...millionaire’s golf!

The condition of the course was immaculate and very well-tended although again we had full scarifying (on the 10th) while we were playing – maybe they do it at most courses this time of year?! 

Relish the experience as this is arguably one of the finest golf courses and tests of golf I have experienced in some time (handicap=6).

We hired buggies (€30) and would suggest it’s advisable for all but the hardiest/maddest souls!
