The PGA is proud to announce the renewal of its long-standing partnership with Antalya Golf Club, ensuring its prestigious status as a PGA Branded Property and the exclusive PGA National Türkiye until December 31, 2035.

The relationship, which dates back to 2006, solidifies Antalya Golf Club’s reputation as a premier global golf destination and a flagship facility within The PGA’s international portfolio.

A New Era of Excellence: PGA National Golf Academy Türkiye

The centerpiece of this renewed partnership is the upcoming launch of the PGA National Golf Academy Türkiye in January 2026. This cutting-edge facility is designed to provide a modern, integrated approach to player development, featuring:

• Performance Studio: A 150 m² state-of-the-art indoor studio equipped with Zen Golf Green Stage and Swing Stage systems for data-driven analysis.
• Strength & Conditioning: A 20 m² dedicated fitness zone featuring world-class TechnoGym equipment.
• Titleist Integration: As the official distributor for Titleist in Türkiye, the Academy will offer students access to best-in-class equipment and personalized fitting services.

Luxury Hospitality and Investment

The renewal follows significant investments by the Akkanat Group to elevate the guest experience across its properties in Belek. Yasin Akkanat, Owner, highlighted recent major upgrades:

• Sirene Belek Hotel: Full renovation of 221 rooms in the Garden section.
• Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek: Complete renovation of 158 main building rooms, plus the addition of 43 new Lagoon Suites and three luxury Sultan Villas, each with private pools and gardens.

"These substantial investments demonstrate our unwavering commitment to advancing both the hospitality and golf experience in Belek," said Akkanat.

A Legacy of Championship Golf

Antalya Golf Club, home to the David Jones-designed PGA Sultan and The Pasha courses, has a storied history of hosting elite events, including the 2012 Turkish Airlines World Golf Final, which featured icons such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Richard Barker, PGA Executive Director – Business Development, expressed his enthusiasm for the future: "This renewal reflects the strength of our partnership built over decades. We look forward to building on this success over the next ten years".

As part of the agreement, PGA Members will continue to receive exclusive all-inclusive rates and seasonally tailored discounts for golf trips and holidays at both the Sirene Belek and Kempinski properties.
