Martin Hawtree designed the original 27-hole course at TAT International in the late 1990s. The development was later rebranded as Titanic, retaining its three nines — River, Mediterranean and Forest — before evolving into Cullinan Links Golf Club in 2021.

Situated on the western edge of the Belek coastline, close to where the Besgoz River meets the Mediterranean, the course is one of the few in the region — along with Lykia Links — with holes that run directly alongside the sea, offering uninterrupted coastal views.
Following the construction of a new beachfront hotel in 2020, several original holes were reworked and an additional nine was built. This resulted in four distinct 9-hole loops, which now form the basis of the club’s current layout. These loops can be combined to create two primary 18-hole courses, Aspendos and Olympos, rather than separate clubs in their own right. All four nines return to the clubhouse, allowing for flexible routing and efficient management of play throughout the year.
A third 18-hole option, known as Termessos, combines the two back nines and is fully floodlit, making Cullinan Links one of the few venues in Europe where a complete round can be played at night.
The redesign retained many of the original lakes and water features, while introducing improved bunkering and wider paspalum fairways to enhance playability. The layout remains visually distinctive, particularly along the shoreline stretches.
Green fees at Cullinan Links are structured on an all-inclusive basis, covering food and beverages, a shared buggy, a driving range token per round, and on-course buggy bar service. This approach simplifies the playing experience, particularly for visiting golfers.
Located within half an hour of Antalya Airport and benefiting from a long playing season, the club has become one of the more accessible options for international visitors to the region.
Positioned among Türkiye’s more distinctive coastal layouts, Cullinan Links combines flexible course design with a service model geared towards convenience, without losing the character of its original setting.
