In the world of professional golf, the definition of "perfection" is shifting toward the Mediterranean. For the disciplined and quality-oriented Japanese golfing culture, Belek (Antalya) is no longer just an alternative—it is the premier destination where luxury, sport, and nature converge. As your dedicated DMC, we explore why Belek has become a global powerhouse and highlight the crown jewel of the region: Cullinan Links Golf Club.
Why Belek is the Ideal Destination for Japanese Golfers
For a Japanese traveler, the success of a golf trip is measured by three pillars: course conditioning, flawless service, and accommodation comfort. Belek masters the "Ultra All-Inclusive" concept, offering a sense of freedom where every detail is pre-arranged to perfection.
-
Strategic Accessibility: Located just 30 minutes from Antalya International Airport, it allows for quick transitions from long-haul flights to the first tee.
-
The Perfect Climate: While winter makes golfing difficult in Japan, Belek offers a consistent "eternal spring" with temperatures averaging 18-22°C.
A Legendary Experience: Cullinan Links Golf Club
Among the many prestigious courses in Belek, Cullinan Links stands out as an engineering marvel. It is the only course in the region uniquely positioned between a flowing river and the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
1. Aspendos and Olympos: Two Distinct Masterpieces Cullinan Links offers a total of 36 holes across two distinct courses:
-
Aspendos Course: Named after the famous Roman theater nearby, this course emphasizes tactical play with strategic water hazards and riverside fairways.
-
Olympos Course: Here, the scent of the sea follows you at every hole. It offers a physical and visual challenge where the Mediterranean breeze becomes a key player in your game.
2. The Magic of Night Golf Night golf is a beloved culture in Japan, and Cullinan Links elevates this to a luxury experience. With world-class LED lighting systems, you can enjoy a round under the stars, avoiding the midday sun or extending your play after a day of relaxation.
