Belek · Course guide
Sueno Golf Club
Thirty-six holes, nineteen lakes and a hundred and twenty-eight bunkers, with a maintenance calendar built so that one of the two courses stays open.
Pines and Dunes
Two eighteens that are not two versions of the same thing.
Pines is the longer one and plays to a standard par 72. Dunes is seven hundred and seventy metres shorter and plays to par 69: one par five, four par threes, and thirteen par fours. A society that plays both in one week gets two different rounds, not a repeat.
Pines
PAR 72
The two halves are almost identical in length and identical in par. If you are setting a shotgun start, nobody is handed the easy nine.
| Length | 6,413 m |
| In yards | 7,013 |
| Out · In | 3,223 · 3,190 |
| Par out · in | 36 · 36 |
Dunes
PAR 69
Shorter on paper and awkward in practice. Only one par five, so the birdie chances a society expects are not there, and the back nine is three hundred and thirty metres longer than the front.
| Length | 5,643 m |
| In yards | 6,171 |

Distances are in metres, measured to the centre of the green.
The hole your members will talk about
The seventeenth at Dunes is a two hundred and thirty-two metre par three, about two hundred and fifty-four yards, and it carries stroke index 1.
That is the hardest hole on the card, it is a par three, and it comes second to last. For most society players this is a driver into a green. If your match is one up standing on that tee, it is not one up any more.
Before you pick your dates
The real argument for a thirty-six hole club.
Every course in Belek shuts to overseed. A club with one course shuts, and there is no golf. Sueno staggers its two, and the calendar shows the effect plainly.
| 2026 | Pines | Dunes |
|---|---|---|
| January – May | Open | Open |
| 11 – 20 June | Closed | Open, light maintenance |
| 21 – 30 June | Open, light maintenance | Closed |
| 1 – 15 July | Closed | Open, light maintenance |
| 16 – 31 July | Open, light maintenance | Closed |
| 1 – 27 August | Closed | Closed |
| 19 – 30 September | Closed | Open |
| 1 – 12 October | Open | Closed |
| 15 Nov – 15 Dec | Open, light maintenance | Open, light maintenance |
Autumn is covered
From 19 September to 12 October one of the two is always open. That is the middle of the UK society season, and at a one-course club those three weeks are simply unavailable.
August is not
1 to 27 August both courses are shut. No stagger, no alternative on site. If your society only travels in August, this is not your club, and we will say so instead of selling you a week of range balls.
The practice areas have their own window
The driving range, putting green and chipping green run at limited capacity from 19 September to 12 October. The course is open; the warm-up is thinner. Useful to know if you had planned a coaching morning.
Do not assume this repeats
Sueno’s calendar changes from year to year. In 2025 both courses were shut for the whole of July and the whole of August. In 2026 July is split between the two and the courses reopen on 28 August.
So the table above is 2026's calendar, not a pattern. We ask the club for the current year's version before quoting any date near these windows, and we would rather tell you that than let you infer a rule from one screenshot.
FIRST LIGHT ACROSS THE COURSES
Which tee
Sueno tells you which tee to play. Most clubs do not.
This is the club’s guidance, not a rule you will be stopped at, and it settles an argument most societies have on the first morning.
| Tee | Who the club points at it |
|---|---|
| White | Professionals and single-figure handicaps |
| Yellow | Handicap 18 and below |
| Blue | Handicap 27 and below |
| Red | Handicap over 27 |

Parkland, not links
The club calls its fairways “parkland links style”. In practice mature pine lines the holes and there is water inside the routing: parkland golf with a lot of carry, whatever the name says.
Seven hundred square metre greens
Larger than the six hundred average at Cullinan Links. On greens this size, hitting the putting surface and being anywhere near the hole are two different outcomes, and three-putts are what slow a society round down.
A hundred and ten buggies
Enough that a large society is not competing for them, which is not true everywhere in Belek. Three hundred trolleys as well. Note that players under sixteen may not drive a buggy.
THE LAKES THREAD BETWEEN BOTH COURSES
Playing it
The rules here are stricter than most. Tell your members first.
| Handicap | The club states 36, and adds that the facility can reduce it to 28 during peak periods. That is more generous than some Belek clubs and less certain than a fixed number. If your roster has players above 28 and your dates are in the busy season, we confirm the limit before you take deposits. |
| Mobile phones | Strictly prohibited on the course. This catches UK societies out more than anything else on this list, so put it in your joining instructions. |
| Buggies and age | 110 buggies and 300 trolleys. Players under 16 may not drive a buggy. |
| On the tee | Practice swings are not allowed on the tee. Soft spikes and proper golf attire required, as everywhere in Belek. |
| Local rules | Distances measured to the centre of the green. Yellow stakes water, red stakes lateral, white stakes out of bounds, white lines or blue stakes ground under repair. |
| Tuition | Golf academy with individual, group and team programmes. At least two professional instructors speaking English and German through the season. |
| Pro shop | Club repairs, caddy service, buggy and e-trolley hire, equipment rental and sales. |
THE BIRDIE BAR, ON THE LAKE
Food and drink
Free at the clubhouse if you are staying on site.
The Club House Birdie Restaurant and the Birdie Bar are complimentary for guests of the two Sueno hotels, and charged for visitors. The bar sits on a small lake looking at the island greens.
The exception is the buggy bar, the drinks and sandwich cart that comes round the course, which is charged for everyone.
| Where | Hours | Hotel guests | Visitors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birdie Restaurant lunch, snack, à la carte | 12:00 – 16:00 | Free | Charged |
| Birdie Bar local and international drinks | 11:00 – 17:00 | Free | Charged |
| Buggy bar drinks, snacks, sandwiches | 08:00 – 16:00 | Charged | Charged |
Hours can change with weather, demand and technical factors. In winter a separate snack service operates.
Where to stay
One hotel is the clubhouse. The other is four hundred metres away.
Both are Sueno's own, both are all-inclusive, and guests of either may use the other's facilities free of charge. The difference is size and what your group wants in the evening.
| Hotel | Rooms | To the first tee |
|---|---|---|
| Sueno Hotels Golf Belek Boutique. The clubhouse and the hotel are one building. | 174 | You are on it own beach 600 m, shuttle buggies all day |
| Sueno Hotels Deluxe Belek The large one. Convention centre, one of the biggest spas in the country. | 426 | 400 m six minutes on foot, or the free buggy shuttle |
Rooms facing the course
At the Golf hotel the rooms and the golf terrace look straight out at the holes, because the building is the clubhouse. For a small society that wants to walk from breakfast to the tee, this is as close as Belek gets.
Free run of both
A guest at either hotel may use the other's facilities at no charge, and the all-inclusive works at the golf hotel for golfers staying at the Deluxe. Book the one that suits your evenings; you get both either way.
Not just golfers
The Deluxe is a full resort with a convention centre, aquapark and kids’ facilities. If half your party is not playing, that matters, and if your society wants quiet, it argues for the Golf hotel instead.
