Carya Golf Club

What Carya Golf Club does

Carya Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf facility located in the Belek region of Serik, Antalya, Türkiye, operated as part of the Regnum Hotels hospitality group (parent: Regnum Hotels). The 7,186-yard, par-72 course was designed by Thomson Perrett & Lobb on undulating sand hills within a pine and eucalyptus forest, modeled on Surrey's classic UK heathland courses, and opened in November 2008. Its distinguishing technical feature is Europe's first fully floodlit 18-hole course, with lighting installed at 36 meters delivering up to 250 Lux, extending playable hours to roughly 18 per day during peak season. The club serves affluent international golf tourists (UK, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, Benelux), guests of the adjacent Regnum Carya and Regnum The Crown hotels, and amateur golfers, and has hosted DP World Tour events including the Turkish Airlines Open (€2.75M prize fund).

The product portfolio centers on the championship course and a TaylorMade Performance Lab (3D motion capture via six high-speed cameras, Trackman launch monitor integration, 24-hour club assembly), supported by a 340m dual-sided driving range with 22 covered bays and 80 outdoor positions, a 130m putting/chipping green, PGA-certified instruction in Turkish, English, Russian, and German, TaylorMade STEALTH 2 and QI10 equipment rental renewed every two years, a Club Car buggy fleet equipped with StayPrime GPS, club storage, and a Pro Shop carrying Turkey's widest golf retail stock. Dining includes the Lounge Restaurant, Şevk-Et Steakhouse, and the Halfway House at the 10th hole. Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 22000, Safe Tourism, Safe Hotels Executive, and LEED Gold for the Regnum Carya building.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, with revenue generated from green fees (€70-€185 depending on season and channel, with explicit floodlight surcharges), equipment rental, lessons and academy services, pro shop retail, F&B, and tournament/event hosting. Distribution is anchored by a multi-language website (TR/EN/DE/RU) with online tee-time booking, plus integrated cross-selling from Regnum hotel properties whose guests receive discounted rack rates and all-inclusive F&B. A shared 2025-2026 rate card with sister National Golf Club positions the Regnum portfolio as a dual-course resort destination. The corporate ownership is private under the Regnum Hotels group; no external venture or strategic equity investor is disclosed.
