Two contrasting courses share the same golf operation.
01
01 / Course identity
Approachable does not mean strategically empty
The Pasha gives golfers more visual comfort than many Belek championship courses.
Fairways can appear generous and the overall length is manageable, but doglegs, bunkers, water and undulating greens still ask the player to choose a sensible route. The course rewards clean decisions without demanding elite carry on every hole.
SirGolf frequently uses The Pasha as the first round of a programme or as a social reset between harder tests. Correct tee selection preserves pace and lets different handicaps play the same strategic questions.
Arrival round
Learn the destination here
Use the manageable card to calibrate turf, wind and green pace.
Mixed handicaps
Preserve a shared rhythm
Choose separate tees where needed without splitting the social experience.
Strong player
Attack angles, not every carry
Use position and wedge control to create scoring chances.
02
02 / Playing plan
Use the width to find the correct side, not simply any side
A broad fairway can hide a poor approach angle.
Players should read each hole from the green backwards and choose the landing area that opens the safest section. Doglegs reward a controlled shape, while aggressive shortcuts can introduce sand or water without enough benefit.
On and around the greens, undulation requires attention to the leave. SirGolf advises playing below the hole where practical and using conservative approach targets until the pace becomes familiar.
03
03 / Confidence and scoring
The course creates chances without giving them away
Shorter distance allows more players to reach greens in regulation and enjoy genuine birdie or par opportunities.
That can improve the atmosphere of a mixed society round, but overconfidence often produces the biggest numbers. The smart player uses the manageable yardage to keep the ball in play rather than trying to overpower every dogleg.
The Pasha also gives players useful information about local turf, wind and green speed before they take on PGA Sultan. This makes its role in the week as important as its individual scorecard.
04
04 / Shared club facilities
Prepare for greens and wedges before chasing driver speed
Antalya Golf Club's practice and academy operation supports both The Pasha and PGA Sultan.
A practical warm-up focuses on wedge distances, one fairway club and putting pace. Developing players can benefit from instruction, while stronger golfers can establish the shots needed for the more demanding Sultan later in the programme.
SirGolf confirms range access, balls, academy availability, handicap conditions, buggy rules and movement from the hotel. Proximity to Kempinski The Dome is valuable, but the exact bag and transport arrangement remains part of the booking.
05
05 / Programme role
Play before PGA Sultan for a natural rise in difficulty
The two Antalya Golf Club courses create one of Belek's clearest internal progressions.
The Pasha builds confidence and introduces the site's conditions; PGA Sultan then extends the test through length, water and championship demands. A woodland course can follow to change the visual frame.
SirGolf does not treat Pasha as filler. It earns a specific place for arrival-day efficiency, mixed-handicap enjoyment or recovery within a strong week. The sequence is adjusted when the group already arrives fully prepared for a harder opening.
06
06 / SirGolf view
One of Belek's most useful courses for balanced groups
The Pasha suits mid and higher handicaps, couples with different playing levels and societies that prioritise pace and enjoyment.
Low-handicap golfers can still find strategy from the correct tees, although those seeking maximum championship scale will prefer Sultan. Its value lies in being playable without becoming anonymous.
SirGolf confirms the current tee, handicap policy, range, buggy, hotel movement, maintenance and package terms for the date. Published distance remains stable; operating conditions do not.
Programme role
Use Pasha deliberately as orientation, balance or social scoring day.
Green position
Favour uphill putts and avoid leaving recoveries from the wrong side.
Sultan pairing
Let the two-course sequence rise in demand rather than start with overload.
Questions before booking
Practical answers, without brochure assumptions
Is The Pasha an easy course?
It is more approachable than many Belek championship layouts, but doglegs, water, bunkers and undulating greens still punish careless strategy.
How long is The Pasha?
Antalya Golf Club publishes 5,769 m at par 72. SirGolf selects the practical tee according to carry, handicap and group pace.
Should it be played before PGA Sultan?
For many groups, yes. It creates a natural progression and lets players learn local conditions before the longer championship test.
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
Doglegs and bunkers reward planning
Generous fairways do not make every target correct. Doglegs ask for placement, bunkers challenge the obvious line and undulating greens place more emphasis on the quality of the approach.
Group fit
A useful opening round
The Pasha can work well near the start of a golf week, allowing players to settle into local turf and conditions before moving to longer championship layouts.
SirGolf pairing intelligence
The stays that keep this round practical.
The Pasha 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.
Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek
Kempinski confirms that guests can reach Antalya Golf Club on foot or by golf car. The Pasha is the more approachable of the two adjacent courses and a natural first round for a broad group.
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.
