I was the grow-in superintendent at National Golf Course, the first course in Belek in '94/95. I have been back numerous times since then, but not for two years now, much to my regret, so I'm a little out of date.
I posted some photos from my last visit on the aforementioned thread. I haven't played or even seen all the courses there (the Montgomery course is a mystery to me, for example) and as my memory fades and the courses evolve my commentary on hole-by-hole detail becomes irrelevant.
But generally speaking they are a delightful lot. The landscape lends itself exceedingly well to golf. All the courses are built close by the sea on sandy dunes covered with eucalyptus and big, umbrella-shaped, stone pines. The golfer is spoiled by views of the sparkling, blue Mediterranean waters, and the courses, with one or two exceptions, are maintained to a high international standard, as good as most tourist stuff you'd find around, say, Florida.
The climate is typical Mediterranean, with hot, dry, summers and cool, rainy winters. Avoid the autumn, October-December, because everyplace will be winter-overseeding the bermudagrass with ryegrass and it will play soft and slow. There are I think one or two courses with bentgrass greens, (Dave Thomas's Nobilis comes to mind) that you could at least putt without the overseeding in October and November, but by February it will have all come right and the greens will play well until the spring transition in May.
Turkey has typically been less expensive than other European golf destinations like Spain, Portugal, or the British Isles. The Mediterranean cuisine is full of healthful fish and fresh produce. The only wine you can find is domestic, but they’re making great strides in the art of fermentation. The local Efes lager beer is good, but you need to get it ice-cold in the big sixteen ounce bottles only, and whatever you do, do NOT drink the raki. I have seen people die from that. No shit. I myself and several good friends narrowly escaped the same fate.
