When staying at the Gloria Resorts you’ve got to include both in your golfing itinerary. The facilities are top class and there really isn’t anything to choose between the two courses.
AT A GLANCE
Golf courses
Both the Gloria Old and New Courses are superb and the clubhouse is a pleasure to visit. Set in thick pine woodland, both offer different but testing rounds.
Old Course (Gloria Golf Club)
This highly regarded course opened in September 1997 but has recently undergone a number of changes to keep it at the top of the Belek golfing scene. Set in dense pine woodland, the fairways and greens are in fantastic condition all year round with teams of greenkeepers taking real pride in their work. A number of the great holes feature testing tee shots where menacing water hazards lay in wait. A great test.
18 Holes, Par 72, Yardage 6799. Parkland with lakes.
New Course (Gloria Golf Club)
Designed by Frenchman Michael Gayon, the newer of the two Gloria courses is kept in stunning condition all year round and is one of the best in the region. With seven lakes coming into play, cleverly placed bunkers and tricky greens guaranteed, the course requires accurate shots from start to finish. Set at the foot of the Taurus Mountains, it offers superb views all around.
18 Holes, Par 72, Yardage 6863. Woodland.
Verde Course (Gloria Golf Club)
This 9-hole course is a good warm up when taking on either of the championship courses available. Also good for beginners as it is generally quiet.
9 Holes, Par 36, Yardage 3219. Woodland.

The New Course title may suggest it’s the weaker of the two, but locals and past visitors don’t agree. The longer layout includes seven lakes and offers a great test.
