Region’s first championship course to open at The Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme Resort & Spa in June 2026 to create new golf destination in Türkiye

The dawn of a ground-breaking new era for golf tourism in Türkiye is set to break next summer with the launch of a new 18-hole championship golf course on the stunning Dalaman Coast.

The par-72 layout will be the region’s first golf venue when it opens at Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme Resort & Spa next June and has been designed by the International Design Group.

Located just a 20-minute drive from Dalaman International Airport, the course – which will be managed by The Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme Resort & Spa – has been created on a site bordered by the beach resort to the south and a river to the west.

Measuring 6,152 metres from the back tees (6,728 yards) and built on natural sandy soil using the best sustainable practices, the layout will feature sweeping uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean and is predicted to become one of the most beautiful and prestigious golfing experiences in Türkiye.

 

Complementing the course will be facilities including a driving range, putting green, short game area, clubhouse, restaurant and halfway house.

 

Umit Yasar Atalay, general manager at Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme Resort & Spa, said:

Our vision is to create an environmentally conscious, nature integrated golf course that meets international standards and positions Türkiye where it rightfully belongs in the global golf tourism arena. For us, success isn’t merely completing the golf course – it’s establishing Dalaman as a recognised hub of international golf tourism and a future stage for professional tournaments.

 

The area’s rare qualities inspired us to envision a course that would not only coexist with the landscape but also enhance it. It’s been designed as a sustainable, aesthetic living space and one that provides a premium experience for players of all levels. Our guests won’t just play golf here; they’ll enjoy a peaceful experience in harmony with nature.

 

One of the most well-preserved natural areas in southwestern Türkiye, the Dalaman region has long beaches, rich vegetation, lakes that serve as a stopover for migratory birds and a favourable climate almost year-round, making it the ideal location for an overseas break and new golf destination.

Opened in 2009, The Hilton Dalaman Sarıgerme Resort & Spa boasts an enviable location on the edge of the Dalaman River, where the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea meet, for guests to enjoy. Featuring a choice of luxury accommodation, the ultra-all-inclusive resort offers an outstanding array of sports and lifestyle facilities, a private beach and a wide selection of bars and restaurants showcasing a variety of local and international cuisines.

Leisure and wellness facilities include ten pools, two seasonal waterparks, (one for adults and one for children)and a private sandy beach stretching across 650 metres, while The Elysion Spa provides 18 treatment rooms, VIP suites, Turkish bath, multiple saunas, steam rooms, relaxation pool and bespoke wellness rituals.

Active guests have plenty of options, with the resort offering tennis courts, a 24-hour fitness centre, water sports (including diving, windsurfing, canoeing, SUP and sea kayaking), archery, yoga, Zumba and more.
