Course intelligence
Why Olympos feels different.
Course dossier
Its unusual balance of holes is the clearest reason to pair Olympos with Aspendos rather than treating the two courses as interchangeable.
The course, read before play
Character
Elevated greens, lakes and river influence
Olympos shares Cullinan Links' broad landscape of raised features, pine trees, lakes and the Beşgöz River. Exposed sections can bring wind into decisions that look straightforward on the card.
The complete course brief
An unconventional par mix that keeps changing the question
Olympos is the par-71 counterpart to Aspendos at Cullinan Links. Six par threes and five par fives create frequent shifts between precision and opportunity, making the round feel different from a conventional resort scorecard even though it shares the same water-rich landscape.

01
01 / Course identity
Precision holes and scoring holes arrive in quick succession
Olympos uses a distinctive par distribution to disrupt the normal rhythm of two par threes and two par fives per nine.
Players repeatedly move from a one-shot demand to a hole that invites ambition over several shots. That variety can be engaging for mixed groups because there are regular chances to reset after a difficult hole.
The shared Cullinan landscape still brings water, bunkers, river influence and exposed wind into play. SirGolf selects tees so the six par threes remain varied rather than becoming a series of forced long carries.
Strategic player
Separate opportunity from temptation
Choose in advance which par fives justify aggression and manage the rest in three zones.
Mid handicap
Protect the par threes
Use tees that keep repeated one-shot carries within a reliable range.
Two-course stay
Play Aspendos first
The conventional opening round makes Olympos's unusual rhythm more legible.
02
02 / Playing plan
Treat every par five as a three-zone decision
Five par fives do not guarantee an easy scoring day.
The correct route often depends on the second landing area and the angle left for the third shot. A reckless advance can introduce water or sand without producing a realistic eagle chance. Players should decide before the round which holes suit their reliable carry and which should be managed in three measured shots.
The six par threes require a separate discipline: play the correct number to the safe green section and accept that wind may change between sheltered and exposed tees. Missing on the playable side is more important than hunting every flag.
03
03 / Scorecard management
Avoid letting the unusual sequence distort expectations
Olympos can feel scoreable because of its published length and number of par fives.
That impression can encourage players to force the round. The better approach is to view the par threes as survival and positioning moments, then choose only the par fives where an aggressive second shot has a clear reward.
For groups, the changing par structure can affect pace because club selection and lay-up decisions recur frequently. SirGolf recommends realistic tees and a clear buggy or walking plan so the unusual scorecard remains enjoyable rather than slow.
04
04 / Practice and conditions
Calibrate carry before facing repeated one-shot holes
The shared practice facilities include multiple putting and chipping greens and a full range operation.
A focused warm-up should establish reliable carry numbers for the par-three clubs and test the day's wind. Players who arrive with only driver preparation may be underprepared for the part of the course that most affects the card.
Current local rules, range access, handicap policy, buggy conditions and any floodlit operation are confirmed with the booking. The two-course site can change starting arrangements according to demand and maintenance.
05
05 / Programme role
Play after Aspendos to make the contrast obvious
The natural two-round sequence begins with Aspendos's conventional par-72 rhythm and follows with Olympos.
Players then recognise how the same landscape can create a very different strategic experience. For a third round, a mature tree-lined course such as National or Gloria Old offers a useful visual reset.
Olympos can also work as a final round because the recurring par fives preserve scoring interest. That choice depends on departure time, expected pace and whether the group prefers a familiar course site on the last day.

06 / SirGolf view
A distinctive option for players who enjoy changing tempos
Olympos suits golfers who respond well to repeated club-selection and risk decisions.
It can be engaging for mid-handicap groups when tees keep the par threes proportionate. Players who prefer a classic championship scorecard may favour Aspendos, while aggressive golfers must resist treating every par five as permission to attack.

Questions before booking
Practical answers, without brochure assumptions
Why is Olympos par 71?
Its scorecard contains six par threes and five par fives, creating a different balance from a conventional par-72 course.
Is Olympos easier than Aspendos because it is shorter?
Not automatically. Repeated par threes, wind, water and the temptation to attack five par fives can make scoring volatile. Tee selection remains important.
Can it be played under lights?
Floodlit golf may be offered on selected holes and schedules, but availability is operational. SirGolf confirms the current product 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.
Strategy
Scoring chances arrive often
The six par fives create opportunities, but they are balanced by six par threes where distance control and green protection matter. A good score depends on switching quickly between attack and restraint.
Floodlit play
Holes 10 to 18 under lights
The closing nine can be played under floodlights. It may also be combined with Aspendos's back nine for the Termessos night-golf routing, subject to the club schedule.
SirGolf pairing intelligence
The stays that keep this round practical.
Cullinan Links - Olympos 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
Olympos gives Cullinan guests an unusual par-71 scorecard with repeated par-three and par-five decisions. The integrated setting lets the course feel distinctive without adding another transfer-heavy day.
Titanic Deluxe Golf Belek
Olympos adds a less conventional golf day to Titanic's large resort programme. The pairing is useful when non-golfers need extensive independent facilities and players still want a distinct second home-course option.
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.

Practice
A substantial shared practice complex
Five putting greens, two chipping areas, rental sets and PGA professional tuition support both Cullinan courses. The same facilities make Olympos suitable for mixed-level groups.
Pairing
Use Aspendos as the counterpoint
Aspendos offers a more conventional par-72 balance. Scheduling the two on separate days lets the group experience the full Cullinan complex without repeating the same tactical pattern.
