Turkish Airlines Open 2027 Belek: Spectator & Transfer Guide

Quick answer: The Turkish Airlines Open 2027 takes place from 29 April to 2 May 2027 at National Golf Club in Belek, about 35 km east of Antalya Airport (usually 35 to 45 minutes by road). Most spectators stay in Belek itself and walk or take a short taxi to the course. If you are flying in on a tournament day, staying in Antalya city or travelling as a group, a pre-booked private transfer is the simplest way to arrive on time.

The DP World Tour confirmed the 2027 dates in its full season schedule, and National Golf Club returns as host after staging the event for the first time in 2026. We are an Antalya-based team that runs private transfers and tours, so we will tell you when you need us and when you do not.

Where You’re Going: National Golf Club, Belek

National Golf Club is part of the Regnum group in Belek and has been at the heart of Antalya’s golf scene since 1994. Belek is a resort strip on the coast east of Antalya, lined with five-star hotels and championship courses, so the tournament sits in the middle of an area built for golf travellers.

This matters for planning: you are not heading into a city. The course is reached by the D400 coastal highway and local resort roads, and there is very little public transport serving the golf strip directly. Your realistic options are walking from a nearby hotel, a taxi, a hotel shuttle or a private transfer.

Getting from Antalya Airport to Belek

Private transfer

A driver meets you in arrivals with a name sign and takes you straight to your hotel. Prices are fixed in advance, so flight delays and luggage do not change the fare. This is the most popular choice for golfers carrying clubs, families and groups who want one vehicle.

Airport taxi

Official taxis wait outside both international terminals and run on the meter. Fares rose in 2026, so check the fare board at the rank rather than an old online quote. Our Antalya taxi price guide explains how the meter works. Taxis are fine for one or two people with light luggage, but a golf bag will not fit every car.

Hotel shuttle

Some Belek resorts offer airport shuttles, usually for a fee and on fixed times. Ask your hotel when you book, especially if you land late in the evening.

Public transport

Antalya’s tram and city buses do not go to the Belek golf strip in a practical way. We do not recommend relying on them for tournament days. See our Antalya Airport arrivals guide for what to expect when you land.

Getting to the Course Each Day

If your hotel is in Belek, the daily trip is short. Many resorts are within a few minutes’ drive of National Golf Club, and some are close enough to walk. If you are staying in Antalya city or Lara, allow around 45 to 60 minutes each way depending on traffic, more on Saturday and Sunday when crowds peak.

A few practical tips for spectator days:

• Arrive early on the weekend. Saturday and Sunday draw the biggest crowds, and roads around the course slow down near the leaders’ tee times.
• Agree a pickup point in advance. Phone signal can be busy near the entrance at the end of play, so fix a meeting spot with your driver before you go in.
• Plan the return. Taxis can be scarce at the moment play finishes. A booked return or a flexible driver saves a long wait.

Where to Stay

Belek is the obvious base. You are close to the course, surrounded by golf resorts and can easily add a round of your own on a practice day. Hotels near National Golf Club fill early in tournament week, so book as soon as your plans are firm.

Antalya city (Kaleiçi or Lara) works if you want restaurants, the old town and nightlife in the evenings, and do not mind a daily drive. Have a look at our boutique hotels in Kaleiçi if you prefer character over a resort.

Side is about 40 minutes east of Belek and can be good value, but it adds daily driving time.

Timing: A Busy Fortnight in Belek

Late April 2027 is a packed period for Belek. Routes Europe 2027 runs at NEST Congress Center from 20 to 22 April, alongside the Tourism Seasonality Summit (21 to 23 April). The golf follows the next week. Expect higher hotel rates and strong demand for drivers across both weeks, so lock in accommodation and transfers early.

Late April and early May usually bring warm, sunny days in Antalya, comfortable for walking a golf course, with cooler evenings. Bring sun cream, a hat and a light layer for the evening.

Make a Trip of It

Belek is well placed for half-day trips on practice days or after the final round:

• Aspendos Theatre, one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world, about 20 to 25 minutes from Belek.
• Perge, a large ancient city on the way to Antalya.
• Side, with its Temple of Apollo and harbour restaurants.
• Kaleiçi, Antalya’s old town, for dinner and a walk by the harbour.

Browse our private tours and activities or read our Roman and Ottoman heritage guide for ideas.

When a Private Transfer Is Worth It

• You are carrying golf clubs and want a vehicle with room for them.
• You land on a tournament day and want to go straight to the course.
• You are staying in Antalya city or Lara and need daily return trips.
• You are a group or family and want one vehicle with a fixed price.
• You want a driver waiting at the end of play instead of queuing for a taxi.
• You want to add Aspendos or Side on a practice day.

If you are staying in Belek and only need a short hop to the course, a local taxi or walking is often enough, and we will tell you that.
