The Turkish government is aiming to attract affluent golf lovers by creating new facilities for them. Plans for new resorts have been proposed to encourage foreign property buyers and golfers to visit Turkey. Property experts have stated that Turkey could possibly compete with more established golfing destinations such as Spain and Portugal on the grounds that its property values were much cheaper, despite offering facilities of the same high standard.
Moreover, Turkey is becoming a major player in the golfing world as not only are they building superior courses but also they are helped by the fantastic Mediterranean weather. An all year round facility with stunning natural sceneries makes this truly a place for those seriously interested in golf.
