This course designed by Gary Player is hands down, South Africa’s best wildlife / safari golfing experience and should be on your golfing bucket list! The course borders the Kruger National Park and is separated by nothing less than the carving crocodile river.
Recently reopened following a lavish refurbishment programme the designers have created one of the lushest and indeed finest playing surfaces in the country. We have been trying to bring the Greencard Tour here for many years and are delighted to have brought this dream to reality.

2020 Greencard Turkish Open: 16 – 23 May 2020
About the event:-
The Greencard Tour has featured a golf holiday in Turkey for many years, it is always one our most popular destinations. The area of Belek is now globally recognised as a top short haul golf holiday destination with great weather, good beaches, warm seas and fantastic golf courses.
The Titanic Mardan Palace is one of the most luxurious all inclusive resorts in the Mediterranean. It cost over $1.5 billon to create, and you can see why! From the amazing lobby with iconic staircase and glass ceiling five stories above to the five acres (yes that’s 5 acres!!) of a lagoon swimming pool which extends via canals to the private sandy beach, every part of this hotel is stunning!
When staying on an all-inclusive basis you need plenty of options and in this hotel you won’t get bored! You can choose from the main themed buffet or Italian, Asian, Steak venues plus unbelievable Aquarium fish restaurant.
For down-time you might want to try the ultimate spa experience, it is hard to match the 7500 sqm luxury spa retreat on offer here.
2020 will be our first visit to this first class venue which will think will be an amazing experience and we are combining it with the standard of golf you’ve come to expect from this area.
We will be playing two rounds on the Carya course which has quickly become the best golf course in the region and a further two on the new excellent Titanic course which is a 27 hole complex was created with European golfers in mind.
The three themed nines – the River, the Mediterranean and the Forest all have their own distinctive feel but have the common feature of being surrounded by stunning scenery with spectacular views of the sea and mountains.
We love including a Turkish event on our tour schedule but thought it was time to maybe try somewhere new and we are really excited about this venue and hope you can join us for what will be a great way to get your game in shape before the summer season really tees-off!
