The Dalaman Golf Club
Sarigerme
Opening on 30 August 2026, The Dalaman Golf Club will introduce championship golf to Türkiye’s beautiful Dalaman Coast. Designed by Andrew Craven of International Design Group, the 18-hole, par-72 course measures 6,152 metres from the back tees and has been carefully integrated into its ecologically diverse surroundings.
The course moves through three distinct zones: the Dunes, Wetlands and Mountains. Fairways flow across natural sandy terrain, through pine woodland and alongside marshes and lakes, creating noticeable changes in scenery and playing style throughout the round. Two loops of nine return to an elevated clubhouse, making the layout suitable for casual golf holidays and organised competitions.
Fifteen lakes and 55 bunkers provide the course’s main strategic challenges. Golfers will need to consider safe landing areas and approach angles rather than relying only on distance. Five teeing options range from 4,554 to 6,152 metres, helping the course provide an enjoyable test for different abilities.
The signature 15th is a 517-metre par five featuring a dramatic 25-metre drop from the tee to the fairway. A protected nature reserve runs along one side, with a lake influencing play on the other, creating one of the course’s most memorable risk-and-reward challenges. The 550-metre par-five 18th provides another demanding finish.
Practice facilities include a 240-metre driving range, putting and chipping greens and a golf academy. Buggies, trolleys and rental clubs will be available, alongside locker rooms, showers, equipment storage and club-cleaning services.
The course will be managed in partnership with Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Golf, with a complimentary shuttle available for hotel guests. Its location just 20 kilometres from Dalaman International Airport also makes it particularly convenient for UK golfers.

About The Area
Sarigerme is an exciting new choice for a golf holiday in Turkey, combining a long sandy beach, luxury all-inclusive resorts and remarkably easy access from the UK. This peaceful coastal village sits approximately 11 kilometres from Dalaman International Airport, allowing golfers to reach their hotel in around 15–20 minutes after landing.
The destination’s golfing appeal centres on The Dalaman Golf Club, which is scheduled to open on 30 August 2026. The new 18-hole, par-72 championship course will be the first golf venue in the region, creating an alternative to Turkey’s established golf resorts around Belek. Designed by Andrew Craven of International Design Group, the 6,750-yard layout moves through three distinctive environments: dunes, wetlands and mountain scenery.
Golfers can expect strategically positioned bunkers, water hazards and changing landscapes, along with a driving range, putting and chipping greens, rental equipment, golf buggies and an academy for different ability levels. A complimentary shuttle will connect the course with Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Golf, making it especially convenient for guests staying at the resort.
Away from the course, Sarigerme is known for its broad beach, clear water and attractive natural surroundings. Watersports are widely available, while the compact village centre offers restaurants, cafés and small shops without the noise and crowds of a large resort town.
The wider Dalaman region also provides plenty to explore between rounds. Golfers can visit the harbour town of Göcek, take a boat trip around its sheltered bays or travel to Dalyan for the ancient ruins of Kaunos, riverside restaurants and nearby İztuzu Beach.
With a championship course, short airport transfer and high-quality beachfront accommodation, Sarigerme is set to become one of Turkey’s most interesting emerging golf destinations. It should particularly suit couples, groups and mixed golfing families who want to combine their rounds with an all-inclusive Mediterranean holiday.
