Gloria Old is one of the coast's oldest courses and with a fine reputation, whilst the New Course which opened in 2003, is also a fine layout and shares the same clubhouse, the Old Course is probably the more traditional design and the harder challenge with more trees and deeper bunkers.Residents of the hotel s at Gloria receive big discounts off the green fees. As a 36 hole golf resort this venue offers the fairest challenge and is not over taxing to play or to walk. The practice facilities at Gloria are probably the best in Belek and there is even a two tier driving range.
The Old Course is Belek's third oldest golf course and was re-modelled in 2006 when the sumptuous Serenity Hotel was built, the last 3 holes were lost and new ones built. The course is laid out through majestic umbrella pine trees, it is a course in the mould of a Vilamoura course, all the emphasis is about where you place your drive, if you are erratic off the tee you will be in for a rough ride. Accuracy and not length is the issue. There is not a lot of water, it is just the pine trees you have to watch. Definitely in Belek's top 5 courses.
This is a more modern style of golf course, where there is more room for tee shots, but it is longer than the Old and has a lot more in terms of water hazards in play, especially off the tee. The 9th and 18th holes, both are flanked by long water hazards right down the length of the holes. The course is still played through umbrella pines but they are not as dense as on the Old Course. Overall, the New course is one of Belek's easier courses, but it is still probably a good test, as it is flat a good course like the Old for Senior golfers.
