Cornelia Faldo Golf Club (Prince Course)

Overview: The Prince Course at Cornelia Golf Club is a premier championship layout in the heart of Belek, designed by the legendary Sir Nick Faldo. Comprised of the Gaius and Tiberius loops within a 27-hole complex, the course is a spectacular woodland-links hybrid set among natural sand dunes and ancient pine forests. Opened in 2006, it is a "thinking golfer’s" course characterized by its narrow, sculpted fairways, elevated tees, and undulating greens that require sophisticated strategy and technical precision.

History: Cornelia was developed to represent the pinnacle of modern Turkish golf, utilizing an exceptional piece of coastal land that features dramatic natural topography. Designed by Faldo Design, the project was completed in record time and quickly earned international acclaim, ranking among Europe's top courses within years of its debut. The addition of the third nine-hole loop in 2007 expanded the resort's capacity, allowing for diverse 18-hole combinations that maintain a consistent theme of strategic challenge and environmental preservation.

Did You Know? The course's design specifically avoids heavy earthmoving, instead using the original forest dunes to create a series of technical "rooms" that feel secluded and deeply integrated into the landscape? With its luxury resort facilities and high-fidelity conditioning, the Prince Course at Cornelia offers a world-class experience that highlights the rapid rise of Belek as a global center for elite golf.
