This guide is regularly updated by the OWL Tourism Golf Desk with the latest information about golf course operations, Green Fee availability, tee times and possible travel conditions during COP31.
Quick Answer: The United Nations Climate Change Conference COP31 will take place in Antalya from 9 to 20 November 2026. Belek golf courses are expected to remain open and continue their regular golf operations. However, higher demand, increased security measures and heavier traffic may affect tee time availability and transfer durations. Golfers are strongly advised to reserve their Green Fees as early as possible.
The United Nations Climate Change Conference, commonly known as COP31, will take place in Antalya from 9 to 20 November 2026.
The conference is expected to bring international delegations, government representatives, organisations and media professionals to Antalya and the Belek region.
For golfers planning to visit Belek during these dates, the most important question is simple: will it still be possible to play golf during COP31?
Yes. The major golf courses in Belek are expected to remain open and continue their regular golf schedules. However, advance planning will be especially important because popular tee times may become limited earlier than usual.
All major golf courses in Belek are expected to remain operational throughout the COP31 conference period.
Golfers should still be able to book and play at courses including:
Carya Golf Club
National Golf Club
Antalya Golf Club — Pasha and PGA Sultan courses
Cornelia Faldo Golf Club
Gloria Golf Club — Old, New and Verde courses
Cullinan Links Golf Club — Aspendos, Olympos and Termesos courses
Montgomerie Maxx Royal Golf Club
Kaya Palazzo Golf Club
Lykia Links Golf Club
Nobilis Golf Club
Sueno Golf Club — Pines and Dunes courses
Golf course operations remain subject to each club’s official programme, maintenance requirements and any temporary measures introduced by local authorities during the conference.
November is already one of the most popular golf periods in Belek. Comfortable temperatures and excellent course conditions normally create strong demand for tee times.
COP31 may increase this demand further because accommodation, transport services and local infrastructure will also be used by conference participants.
Booking early is recommended because:
Morning tee times between 08:00 and 11:00 are usually the most popular.
The most requested golf courses may fill their tee sheets earlier than usual.
Some hotels may accommodate conference delegations.
Traffic and security controls may increase transfer durations.
Last-minute changes between golf courses may be more difficult.
Our recommendation: Send your Green Fee request as early as possible so that OWL Tourism can check availability and create the most suitable playing programme for your travel dates.
