Course intelligence
What Aspendos brings to the Cullinan pairing.
Course dossier
The course is part of a 110-hectare, two-course complex, so maintenance and routing decisions are managed across Aspendos and Olympos together.
The course, read before play
Character
Elevated features across open ground
Cullinan Links uses raised tees and greens within a broad landscape shaped by pine trees, lakes and the Beşgöz River. Wind and exposed sightlines can change the character from one day to the next.
The complete course brief
The more conventional championship rhythm at Cullinan Links
Aspendos is the par-72 half of Cullinan Links, played through a shared landscape of lakes, bunkers, river edge and open coastal influence. Its conventional balance of par threes and par fives makes the scoring shape familiar, while the amount of water and sand keeps placement central.

01
01 / Course identity
A resort course framed by water, sand and changing exposure
Aspendos uses the broad Cullinan Links site to alternate between generous-looking corridors and more defended scoring zones.
The familiar par-72 structure helps a first-time group understand the round, but appearances can be deceptive. Water can influence the preferred side of the fairway, and bunkers often matter more for the approach than the drive.
SirGolf selects tees according to carry and wind rather than the headline card. The published black length is not extreme by modern standards, yet coastal exposure and wet ground can materially change how the course plays.
First round
Start conservatively
Learn wind direction and turf response before challenging water-lined landing areas.
Mixed group
Use the familiar par rhythm
Choose tees that keep par fives playable in stages and par threes within reliable carry.
Scoring player
Win through angles
Position drives for the open side of the green rather than chasing raw distance.
02
02 / Playing plan
Keep the ball in play and preserve the approach angle
The course rewards a repeatable drive more than occasional maximum distance.
Players should identify the side that opens the green and accept a longer second shot when the aggressive line brings water into play. On par fives, the decision to advance should be based on the next landing area, not only whether the green is technically reachable.
Approach discipline is important because misses towards water or deep sand can quickly turn a routine hole into a recovery sequence. A conservative target to the widest part of the green is often the correct first-round strategy.
03
03 / Scoring shape
Four par threes and four par fives create clear opportunities
Aspendos follows a more traditional championship cadence than its par-71 sister course.
That makes it easier for a mixed group to settle into familiar scoring expectations. The par fives offer chances when played in stages, while the par threes require honest distance control across water, sand or exposed air.
Wind can transform the relationship between these holes from morning to afternoon. SirGolf considers start time and season when positioning Aspendos within the week, particularly if the party is also playing Olympos under different conditions.
04
04 / Practice and course conditions
Arrive early enough to understand the exposed environment
Cullinan Links provides multiple putting and chipping greens within a sizeable shared practice operation.
A useful warm-up includes carry calibration, bunker texture and several long putts. Floodlit golf may operate on selected holes or periods, but it is an experience that must be confirmed rather than assumed from historical promotion.
Current local rules, handicap limits, buggy policy, range access and any maintenance are checked with the tee time. SirGolf also confirms which clubhouse movement applies when both Cullinan courses are busy.
05
05 / Programme role
Pair with Olympos for convenience, then change the visual language
Aspendos and Olympos naturally form a two-round mini-programme from one base.
The second course's unusual mix of six par threes and five par fives creates genuine contrast despite the shared site. A third round at Carya, National or Cornelia Faldo can then provide a more enclosed or tree-lined examination.
Aspendos is often a sensible early-week course because its scoring structure is legible. It should not automatically be labelled easy; wind and water can make it a demanding opening if the group selects tees too aggressively.

A balanced home course for modern Belek resort golf
Aspendos suits mixed-handicap groups that want strategic water golf without an unconventional scorecard.
It is particularly efficient for guests at Cullinan Belek or Titanic Deluxe. Players who dislike exposed wind or repeated water decisions may prefer a woodland course, while confident ball-strikers can use the correct tees to find a strong challenge.
SirGolf verifies the exact routing, tee, time, floodlit status, transfer and package terms for the requested date. Maintenance and operating conditions remain dynamic and are never inferred from a generic course page.

Questions before booking
Practical answers, without brochure assumptions
Is Aspendos a links course?
The club uses the Cullinan Links name and the site has open, river and coastal influences, but players should expect a modern resort layout with extensive water and bunkering rather than a traditional British links.
How does Aspendos differ from Olympos?
Aspendos is par 72 with four par threes and four par fives. Olympos is par 71 with six par threes and five par fives, creating a less conventional rhythm.
Is night golf always available?
No. Floodlit operation is date- and schedule-specific. SirGolf confirms the holes, start window and current terms before including it.
The round in practice
Where the character becomes clear.
Scorecard facts matter, but the experience is defined by how the design, hazards and operating conditions influence the decisions on the ground.
Floodlit play
The back nine under lights
Holes 10 to 18 support floodlit play. The club can also form a night-golf combination using the back nines of Aspendos and Olympos, subject to the operating schedule.
Defence
Water, bunkers and green position
The wider complex publishes 119 bunkers and ten lakes. Even when the drive has room, approach position matters because raised greens and protected edges can make recovery more demanding.
SirGolf pairing intelligence
The stays that keep this round practical.
Cullinan Links - Aspendos should be paired with a hotel that protects the quality of the golf day. These are the current SirGolf-listed bases that offer the strongest combination of access, atmosphere and suitability for the players travelling.
Cullinan Belek
Aspendos and the hotel share Cullinan's contemporary golf-resort landscape. Its conventional par-72 rhythm makes it the more legible home round for mixed groups and short resort stays.
Titanic Deluxe Golf Belek
Titanic's broad family resort proposition can be anchored by Aspendos at Cullinan Links. SirGolf confirms the exact transfer and package terms because the hotel and course are commercially linked rather than one compact site.
Planning standard
On-site and official resort relationships are identified separately from SirGolf off-site recommendations. Shuttle operation, private-transfer routing, tee-time access and package inclusions are reconfirmed for the requested travel dates before the pairing is presented as final.
The SirGolf fit
How this course belongs in the itinerary.
Specific, useful guidance for deciding whether this page belongs on the shortlist.
Practice
Five putting greens and two short-game areas
Cullinan Links provides multiple putting greens, two chipping areas, rental equipment and PGA professional tuition. Warm-up time should be reserved rather than assumed immediately before the tee time.
Pairing
Play it alongside Olympos
Aspendos and Olympos share the same club but not the same scorecard. Playing both gives a clear comparison between a par-72 balance and Olympos's unusual par-71 composition.
Planning note
Course maintenance, which routing remains open, buggy-path restrictions and floodlit tee times are date-sensitive. We verify the live club schedule before confirming the round.
