The Ambassador Cup 2026 will take place in Belek from 27 November to 1 December 2026, adding another international event to the region's active late-autumn and winter golf calendar.
The tournament appears in Regnum's official 2026–2027 tournament programme and takes place immediately before the 21st Regnum Carya Pro-Am, which begins on 29 November.
This close scheduling shows how active the Belek golf season remains as autumn moves into winter.
The official dates are:
27 November – 1 December 2026
This period is particularly important for Belek because it connects the final weeks of the autumn golf season with the start of the winter programme.
Many European golf destinations experience more difficult playing conditions at this time of year, while Belek continues to host organised golf events and international groups.
The Ambassador Cup therefore becomes part of a broader seasonal pattern rather than an isolated competition.
The Ambassador Cup is one of several events listed in Regnum's 2026–2027 tournament calendar.
It is followed almost immediately by the Regnum Carya Pro-Am, while additional tournaments continue throughout December.
This type of scheduling demonstrates that golf activity in Belek does not stop after October.
Instead, the region continues to attract organised groups, amateur players and international visitors through late autumn and winter.
For golfers planning independent trips during these dates, early tee-time planning can be useful because tournament activity may increase demand on selected courses.
Regnum guests have access to two of the region's most established golf facilities:
Carya Golf Club
and
National Golf Club
Both courses contribute to Belek's strong international golf identity.
Carya Golf Club is known for its fully illuminated 18-hole course, which allows golf to continue after sunset.
National Golf Club, opened in 1994, was the first golf club in the Antalya–Belek region and played a major role in the development of golf tourism in southern Turkey.
Together, these facilities provide the type of infrastructure needed for organised golf events and multi-day golf programmes.
Carya Golf Club is one of the most recognised golf courses in Belek.
Designed by Peter Thomson and his team, the course combines a heathland-inspired layout with pine landscapes, strategic bunkering and modern golf facilities.
One of its most distinctive features is the full-course lighting system.
This gives players the possibility of continuing golf after normal daylight hours and creates a different experience from many conventional European golf destinations.
Carya has also hosted major international tournaments, strengthening Belek's reputation as a competitive golf destination.
National Golf Club has a particularly important place in the history of golf in Turkey.
Opened in 1994, it became the first golf club in the Antalya–Belek region.
The club's 18-hole course and long history of international events have helped establish Belek as one of Turkey's leading golf destinations.
National Golf Club remains an important part of the wider Regnum golf environment and continues to attract both visiting golfers and organised competitions.
Late November offers a different golf experience compared with the summer months.
The intense heat of July and August has disappeared, making long rounds more comfortable for many players.
At the same time, golfers should be prepared for more variable Mediterranean weather.
Rain, wind and cooler mornings may occasionally affect playing conditions.
For this reason, players travelling during this period may benefit from carrying lightweight waterproof clothing and additional layers.
Tournament participants usually follow an organised programme, while independent visitors should monitor current course and weather conditions before their round.
Events such as the Ambassador Cup are important because they help extend Belek's tourism season beyond traditional beach travel.
Golf visitors often travel specifically for sport.
During their stay they also use hotels, restaurants, transfers and other local services.
As tournament activity continues into November and December, Belek maintains a more active tourism economy during a period that would otherwise be quieter.
This is one of the main reasons golf has become so important to the region's year-round tourism identity.
Many international golfers return to Belek repeatedly after becoming familiar with the courses and resort infrastructure.
Some visitors eventually begin spending longer periods in the region.
For regular golfers, proximity to golf clubs, quiet residential areas, private gardens, swimming pools and year-round accessibility can become important lifestyle considerations.
Visitors researching longer-term options can explore current Belek Property opportunities in Belek and Kadriye.
Property ownership should remain a separate long-term decision from participating in a golf tournament.
However, repeat golf tourism naturally creates a connection between Belek's golf lifestyle and its residential property market.
The Ambassador Cup 2026 is another example of how Belek continues to build a strong multi-season golf calendar.
Taking place from 27 November to 1 December 2026, the tournament sits directly before the Regnum Carya Pro-Am and forms part of an especially active period for golf in the region.
For international players, this timing provides another opportunity to experience Belek outside the traditional summer season.
With established golf infrastructure, resort accommodation and convenient access from Antalya Airport, Belek continues to strengthen its position as one of the Mediterranean's most active golf destinations.
