LinksGolf Antalya
LykiaLinksGolf Antalya is a stunning golf complex on the shores of the Mediterranean. The 18-hole course set in the sand dunes by the sea was designed by celebrated golf architect Perry Dye (son of Pete Dye). Having played the course we can endorse it very highly, whilst like most links courses it is reasonably challenging but at no time did we find it punitive. In true links fashion the course is requires ‘punch and run’ shots, The quilted fairways have a sense of famous courses in Scotland and an assortment of pot bunkers guard the greens and require reasonably accurate placement on the fairways if you are to score well.
Buggies are available but we walked it and did not find it particularly arduous. The course has excellent practice facilities.
We thoroughly enjoyed the views of the sea and the surrounding mountain peaks as well as the daily call to prayer from a distant minaret. The course is definitely one you can enjoy day after day, we played it two days in a row and would happily have played it the following day but we had to fly back to colder climes!
