Nobilis Golf Course

Nobilis Golf Course Belek

Course designer Dave Thomas designed plenty of excellent courses in his time and has created some of Europe’s best and most loved courses, Terre Blanche, Real La Manga Club, The Belfry and Atlungstad in Norway, to name a few. Unfortunately, since passing away in 2013, we cannot further reward his direct hard work across Europe. Nobilis, located in the Robinson Club in Belek, was his first attempt in Eastern Europe and is a course gem.

Although it has never ranked in Turkey's top 10 golf courses, I’d hope most would agree Nobilis is highly underrated.

The par threes are very attractive indeed, most notably for me, the 16th, where there is a long carry-over water to land on an undulating green.

The Par 72 course is essentially a parkland-style course set on a coastal sandy terrain with large greens and generous fairways, but be warned, there are several strategically placed bunkers, natural rivers, and high pine and eucalyptus trees to stop you in your ways.

The Nobilis course is much more mature than their age, and its raised greens are a joy to put on.

Also worth noting is that non-resident tee times are typically very good on Robinson Nobilis, and the course is only 15 minutes from the furthest golf hotel in Belek.

Pro Tip, "As with every course in Belek, get the tee shot away in the right position. distance is not everything over here. At the Nobilis Golf Course, you can only attack the greens if you have put yourself in the right spot."
