Gloria Hotels & Resorts, nestled along the picturesque coast where the Mediterranean Sea caresses the Tauras mountain range, is poised to become the epicentre of golfing grandeur.
With its selection as the esteemed venue for the finale of the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup, this luxurious destination is set to welcome amateur golfers from across the globe.
The Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup, a prestigious global event celebrating Turkish hospitality, unfolds throughout the year, drawing 8,000 players from 73 countries to compete in 117 qualifying tournaments.
The crème de la crème of these tournaments will converge for the grand finale at Gloria Golf Club, Belek, in December.
This grand event marks a significant milestone for Gloria Hotels & Resorts, as it prepares to host the world’s largest corporate golf event.
Conveniently located just 30 kilometres from Antalya International Airport, Gloria Hotels & Resorts sprawls across 212 hectares of pristine landscape.
Comprising three distinct five-star hotels – Gloria Golf Resort, Gloria Verde Resort, and Gloria Serenity Resort – the resort recently underwent a lavish multi-million-euro refurbishment, elevating its allure to unprecedented heights.
Renowned as a premier golfing destination in Turkey, Gloria boasts three world-class courses: the illustrious 18-hole championship layouts of the Old Course and New Course, alongside the nine-hole Verde Course.
Complementing these masterpieces are state-of-the-art practice facilities, including the groundbreaking Gloria Golf Training Academy, a modern clubhouse, and a well-stocked pro shop.
This amalgamation of amenities cements Gloria’s status as the largest and most comprehensive golf resort in Turkey.
Participants of the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Grand Final will have the privilege of traversing both championship courses during two practice rounds, preceding the thrilling competitive rounds later in the week.
This promises an unparalleled golfing experience amidst the breathtaking vistas of Gloria’s meticulously manicured greens.
Now in its eighth glorious year, the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup made its debut in 2013 alongside the DP World Tour’s Turkish Airlines Open.
While the DP World Tour has been absent from Turkey since 2019, the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Grand Final has steadfastly continued its legacy at Gloria Golf Club, even amidst the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
David Clare, director of golf at Gloria Golf Club, said: “We are proud to be working closely with Turkish Airlines to host the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup Grand Final for a second successive year.”
“Our two championship golf courses have hosted golf’s biggest stars over the years – including the Legends Tour Q School as recently as January and numerous DP World Tour events – and we cannot wait to welcome so many competitors for this magnificent event.”
“With an array of exceptional five-star accommodation and gastronomy options – including a number of restaurants drawing inspiration from Anatolian cuisine – Gloria Hotels & Resorts is the perfect location to showcase Turkish hospitality to visitors across the world.”
Amidst a plethora of opulent accommodations, guests at Gloria Hotels & Resorts are pampered with a choice of three luxurious five-star resorts lining the sun-kissed beaches: Gloria Golf Resort, Gloria Verde Resort, and Gloria Serenity Resort.
These havens of indulgence offer an array of exceptional gastronomic delights, including restaurants showcasing Anatolian cuisine, inviting guests to embark on a culinary journey like no other.
A short drive from Antalya International Airport, Gloria guests are spoilt for choice in accommodation, with three luxurious five-star resorts on the beach: Gloria Golf Resort, Gloria Verde Resort and Gloria Serenity Resort.
