The PGA has renewed its long-standing partnership with Antalya Golf Club, extending its status as a PGA Branded Property and the exclusive PGA National Türkiye until 2035.
This relationship, which first began in 2006, continues to highlight Antalya Golf Club as a premier destination for golfers worldwide. The venue remains the only PGA National in Türkiye, reinforcing its position as a flagship facility within The PGA’s global portfolio of Branded Properties.
Home to the David Jones–designed PGA Sultan and The Pasha courses, the club’s championship offering is enhanced by an extensive short-game area, direct access to the five-star Sirene Belek Hotel and Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek, and the forthcoming PGA National Golf Academy Türkiye, opening January 2026.
Designed with a modern, integrated, performance-driven approach, the Academy unifies technical development, performance analysis, personalised equipment fitting, and golf-specific physical conditioning under one roof.
As part of this evolution, Antalya have integrated the world-renowned Titleist brand, becoming its official distributor in Türkiye and ensuring students benefit from best-in-class equipment and services.
At the heart of the Academy is a 150 m² state-of-the-art indoor performance studio equipped with Zen Golf Green Stage and Swing Stage systems, creating a data-driven, highly personalised player-development environment aligned with global standards. The Academy also includes a 20 m² fitness and strength-conditioning zone featuring TechnoGym equipment to support golfers’ physical development.
Commenting on the renewal and the ongoing developments at PGA National Türkiye, owner Yasin Akkanat In commented: “In line with our commitment to excellence at Antalya Golf Club / PGA National Türkiye, I am pleased to share the significant investments we have recently completed across our group’s own hotels in Belek. Alongside the launch of our new Golf Academy at Antalya Golf Club, these developments further reinforce our dedication to elevating the guest and athlete experience in every aspect of our operations.
“At Sirene Belek Hotel, owned and operated by our group, we have successfully completed the full renovation of 221 rooms located in the Garden section of the resort. This upgrade represents a key milestone in our long-term investment strategy, which will continue in the coming years.
“At Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek — also part of our group’s portfolio — we have completely renovated 158 rooms in the main building and significantly expanded and upgraded our luxury accommodation options by newly constructing 43 Lagoon Suites and 3 Sultan Villas, each featuring three bedrooms, a private pool, and a private garden area.
“These substantial investments — together with the opening of our new PGA National Golf Academy Türkiye — demonstrate our unwavering commitment to advancing both the hospitality and golf experience in Belek. Our goal is to ensure that every guest, athlete, and partner continues to enjoy world-class standards across all our facilities.”
PGA Members and their families will continue to enjoy all-inclusive rates at both hotels throughout the duration of the agreement. In addition, PGA National Türkiye offers exclusive, seasonally tailored discounts for PGA Members for golf trips and summer holidays across their properties.
Antalya Golf Club has a history of hosting golf tournaments and events, including the Turkish Airlines World Golf Final in 2012, which featured the very best players such as Tiger Woods, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy. More recently, the club successfully hosted the 3rd European PGA Alliance Congress and Championship last month and will also have provisions within the new agreement to host a PGA Partners’ event during the extended term.
Commenting on the renewal, Richard Barker PGA, Executive Director – Business Development said:
“We are pleased to continue our relationship with Antalya Golf Club as PGA National Türkiye – a venue that has consistently demonstrated the standards we look for in a PGA Branded Property.
This renewal reflects the strength of our partnership which we will have built over decades and their commitment to supporting the Association by providing exceptional golf experiences for PGA Members and visitors. We look forward to building on this success over the next ten years.”
