The TAT

The center of attraction of this nine holes are the gently rolling hilly character of the former Dunes with the main Dune at the fourth tee.

1st Hole : PAR4
375m (365m, 329m, 313m) Green:31x18m
Easy start; even a slice with the first shot of your game, which lands on the neighbouring fairway won't bring you in big trouble. The group of trees, placed right to the green are still far enough away and are easily overplayed.

2nd Hole : PAR5
483m (468m, 425m, 404m) Green:30x14m
That's the place where you have the first wonderful view from the tee on the green and the Taurusrange in the background! Only a brook in 260m distance defends thelanding area. For the second shot you have the choice between playing aggressive Fairwaywood and a save shot in front of the fairwaybunkers, to make sure an easy shot to the green.

3rd Hole : PAR4
400m (379m, 352m, 311m) Green:29x29m
A lake on the left side and a small river in a 240m distance includes the divingzone. The shot to the green is long but fair, as only a bunker to the right side of the green is defending it.

4th Hole : PAR3
176m (169m, 155m, 112m) Green:38x22m
This is where a georges few from the largest Dune across a lake and towards a big green with the Mauntainrange in the background is. Only to short shots will be punished by the waterhazard. For the average player there is enough space to play the ball on the right side of the water and the green to reach the green easily with a pitch.

5th Hole : PAR4
326m (320m, 287m, 256m) Green:40x24m
Here the view goes over three Pines placed in the middle of the fairway to the higher placed green in the background. Only a very long and good placed drive lays behind these Pinetrees. The safest alternative is a shot with a long-iron left to these trees; here you have 28m to place the ball. You only get in trouble, if you play the next shot short the plateau-green.

6th Hole : PAR5
482m (466m, 424m, 379m) Green:35x25m
The view from the leveld tee to the river on the right and the Mediterranean Sea on the horizon - that's the thing one has to enjoy! As it is the most difficult hole of the TAT Course th teeshot demands your full attention. Only a perfect hit will be on the fairway. Having done the teeshot successfully the second and third shot won'd be a problem at all.

7th Hole : PAR4
294m (289m, 259m, 236m) Green:41x22m
The easiest hole on the TAT, with the river on the righthand side; only the fairwaybunkers on the right side of the drivingzone from 215 to 240m are the single difficulty on this hole. These left behind, you have a short approach to green - a very good chance for a Birdy.

8th Hole :PAR3
178m (163m, 156m, 140m)Green:35x19m
Only a shot which is to short or right the green will bring you in trouble. Take care of the pinposition and choose the club wise, because a unplaced shot on the green will cause a very long Putt.

9th Hole : PAR4
393m (366m, 346m, 331m) Green:35x23m
The distance is the challenge on this hole. The best direction for your drive is on the left half of the fairway with the drivingrangehouse in the background. If the pinposition is left, be aware of the bunker and the waterhazard, which are placed also on the left side.


The Belek

---

The feeling of a Links Course on the Irish Westcoast; always a lite and very pleasing wind - especially in summer! - and in stormy weather this nine hole course gives you the challange of Your Golflife!

10th Hole : PAR5
514m (488m, 452m, 432m) Green:38x16m
The best direction for the teeshot is on the right half of the hill. If the drive is placed at 200 to 225m or over 245m the ball lays even or in a lite .....(Gegenhang). This place gives you a easy second shot with a Fairwaywood. With a lenght of 38m the green build with two steps is one of the largest on the course-take care of the pinposition.

11th Hole : PAR3
134m (128m, 119m, 93m) Green:30x19m
My favorite view - a panorama of the Taurusrange with more than 220° and the Mediterranean Sea on the other side! Here you have to play over a slope (Senke) to the green. Only if the shot is short or left the green you get in trouble.

12th Hole :PAR4
409m (393m, 359m, 341m) Green:32x19m
On the right the sea in facinating colours and in the background the Belek Hotels. The out of bounce on the right and a pine on the left side of the fairway make this hole to the most difficult of the Belek. Only a drive placed on the right half of the fairway leaves an easier shot to the green.

13th Hole :PAR4
270m (263m, 238m, 227m) Green: x m
The easiest hole of the Belek. The direct shot to the green is made harder by fairwaybunkers in a distance from 200 to 225m. A fade with the driver gives you the best chance to attack the green.

14th Hole : PAR4
389m (378m, 343m, 320m) Green:36x23m
A dog leg to the right with the view to the ClubHouse. The best place for your drive is on the left sidehill of the fairway. There the ball has a chance of a bounce forward to the middle of the fairway and leaves a optimal shot to the green.

15th Hole : PAR4
336m (329m, 296m, 263m) Green:36x23m
Here precesion is more important than distance; a pine on the right side in 225m distance defends the drivezone. Take your time for the shot to the green; the green is larger than you think!

16th Hole : PAR3
130m (123m, 113m, 105m) Green:30x23m
Shots, which are too short, will be punished. With the slope of green is against the line of playing it makes it easier to place precise the ball on it.

17th Hole : PAR4
385m (375m, 338m, 322m) Green:31x20m
The direct line to the green is defended by three pines on the left half of fairway. On the right side of the drivezone there are fairway bunkers in a distance of 200 to 215m. That leaves an aggressive drive on a 20m wide lane right of that trees or a shot left infront of the pines which leaves a very long fairway shot to the elevated green.

18th Hole : PAR5
441m (435m, 388m, 365m) Green:31x22m
View to the "19 Hole " - the terrace of the ClubHouse! Distance is demanded to give himselve a chance to reack the green in two from the elevated tee. The drivingzone is defended by a fairway bunker in 210m distance. For playing a save PAR keep the second shot left of the waterhazard and green to have a easy approach to the green.


The International

---

These "last" ninehole Course is a charming combination of the Dunehills-, lakes- and river landscape.

19th Hole : PAR4
390m (379m, 344m, 292m) Green:47x22m
A lite dog leg to the left with the view to the Mediterranean Sea in the background. A bunker on the left side of the fairway in 190m and a lite rising slope up to 210m are the difficulties for the Tee shot. The largest green of the course makes it necessay to look carefully where the pinposition is.

20th Hole :PAR4
345m (332m, 303m, 285m) Green:30x19m
This hole lays parallel to the 19. fairway. The out with the Machine-Park behind it and a pine in 210m distance on the right is the main problem, if you want to shorten this dog leg on the right side. This tree behind you a good chance for a Birdy is given.

21st Hole :PAR4
396m (391m, 347m, 323m) Green:33x22m
A far view from the elevated tee on a lake to the lefthandside and a further lake in front are the boundaries of the Drivingzone by 250m. The optimal line of playing is over the pine on the right side of the fairway in a distance of 145m and a height of about 10m. The shot to the green is defended by the lake to the right and two bunkers on the left side.

22nd Hole :PAR5
470m (462m, 413m, 394m) Green:25x22m
First have a look from the Professional tee before you take the challenge of the "blind" shot over the summit of the hill in about 150m distance. I would recommend the group of pinetrees behind the left half of the fairway as an aim. The green is surrounded on three sides with water. The shot to the green is made even more difficult by a river 12m in front of the green .

23rd Hole :PAR4
384m (375m, 338m, 319m) Green:35x17m
An other chance for a birdy; The drivezone is 35m wide and offers you an easy drive from the tee. The green is defended only by a large bunker to the right which leaves an uncomlicated shot to the green.

24th Hole :PAR3
174m (167m, 153m, 115m) Green:21x25m
If the pinposition is hided on the left side of the green, behind the Pine in 135m distance you have a real challenge. Otherwise the green is only defended by a bunker in front of the green.

25th Hole :PAR5
494m (460m, 434m, 382m) Green: x m
For the first shot you have a lot of space. The waterhazard on the left side begins at 210m and the group of Eukalyptus trees start in a distance of 265m. With the waterhazard to the left, a small river in front and two bunkers on the right side of the fairway, you should take attention for the second shot. The green is large; make sure that you get over the greenbunker.

26th Hole : PAR3
136m (126m, 120m, 96m) Green:26x19m
Enjoy the view back on the 25. Hole and the view down to the green. The "small" green with bunkers in front and to the side make pinpositions in the front difficult to play - aim to the middle of the green.

27th Hole : PAR4
402m (388m, 354m, 321m) Green:33x28m
The last teeshot of the International demands a precise and long drive. The landing area is defended by a waterhazard to the left and a fairwaybunker to the right. For the shoot for green make sure that you have enough distance for getting over the waterhazard. The green is large and there is enough space left of the green to attack the green even with a fairwaywood.
