Antalya Airport Transfer with Golf Bags: Complete Guide 2026

Here is everything in one place before you read the detail:

Vehicle: Book a minivan if you have a hard golf travel case (any size). Book a minivan if you have 2 or more bags of any type. A sedan is only viable for 1 soft bag with minimal other luggage — and only if the sedan model has a large estate-type boot.

Cost (Antalya Airport to Belek): Sedan €80 · Minivan €105 · Minibus €180

At booking, specify: "golf equipment — [number of bags] — [hard/soft case]". This ensures the driver pre-arranges boot space and, for group transfers, that the correct vehicle size is confirmed.

Collection point: Terminal 2, Oversized Baggage Belt — not the standard carousel. See the step-by-step section below for exact location.

Peak golf season: April–June and September–October. Book 48 hours in advance.

Golf equipment changes the luggage equation significantly. Here is a clear breakdown:

Why sedans struggle with hard cases: a standard hard golf travel case (Callaway, TaylorMade, Samsonite Golf) measures 130–140 cm at its longest dimension. A typical sedan boot diagonal is 110–120 cm. The math does not work, regardless of clever packing.

The exception: some large estate cars (Skoda Octavia Estate, Volkswagen Passat Wagon) have a boot length of up to 130 cm with the rear seat folded. If you have exactly one soft bag and genuinely minimal other luggage, there is a chance it fits — but it is not guaranteed. A minivan at ${belek.mv} costs ${eur(R['ayt-belek'].pricing.minivan - R['ayt-belek'].pricing.sedan)} more than a sedan and eliminates all uncertainty.

Group golf trips: for 4 golfers with 4 hard cases, a minibus is the logical choice. Cost split between 4 passengers: ${eur(Math.round(R['ayt-belek'].pricing.minibus / 4))} per person — less than a standard metered taxi per person.

Golf bags travel in two fundamentally different ways, and the type affects both what you can book and what the airline charges you.

### Hard Golf Travel Cases

Hard cases (plastic shell, wheels, built-in TSA locks) protect clubs but are large:

### Soft Golf Travel Bags

Soft travel bags (padded nylon, collapsible) are lighter and more flexible:

### Carry-On Sunday Bags

Sunday bags (small carry-on style, clubs only without travel protection) are rare for international travel but are no different from large hand luggage. These fit in any sedan boot easily. Most golfers do not use these for long-haul trips.

Here is the complete process from landing to your first tee time.

### Step 1 — Landing and Terminal 2

If you flew from the UK (Jet2, TUI), Germany (Condor, TUIfly), or Russia (Nordwind, IFly), you almost certainly landed in Terminal 2. Follow signs to Baggage Reclaim.

### Step 2 — The Oversized Baggage Belt (CRITICAL)

Your golf bag is NOT on the standard carousel. At Antalya Airport Terminal 2, oversized items (golf bags, skis, surfboards, bicycles, pushchairs too large for standard belts) are delivered to a separate Oversized Baggage Belt.

The oversized belt is located at the far end of the baggage claim hall — walk past all the standard carousels and look for the wide belt with the yellow/black hazard markings. There are signs above it reading "Büyük Boy Bagaj" (Oversized Baggage) in Turkish, but they are not prominent. The belt is to the right of the last standard carousel as you face the hall.

Most tourists who wait at the standard carousel for their golf bag have simply missed this belt. Do not make this mistake: as soon as you see the standard carousels, walk to the end of the hall and check the oversized belt first.

### Step 3 — Collecting standard luggage

Once you know where the oversized belt is, collect your standard suitcases from the carousel for your flight. Then return to the oversized belt for your golf bag. Both will be ready by the time you reach them.

### Step 4 — Customs and meeting your driver

Pass through the green customs channel. Your driver waits inside the Arrivals Hall on the left side. A trolley is strongly recommended — golf bags are heavy and the walk to the car park is 5 minutes.

### Step 5 — Loading the vehicle

A minivan boot has 1.8–2.0 m of load length with the rear seats in their road position. Two hard golf cases load lengthways, then suitcases fill around them. The driver knows this loading sequence. Do not try to force bags in — follow the driver's lead.

### Step 6 — Resort access (see next section)

Each major Belek golf resort has a specific drop-off procedure. The driver knows the access points. Have your booking reference and passport accessible for resort checkpoints.

The major Belek golf resorts have specific vehicle access procedures. Your driver knows all of these, but being prepared yourself avoids delays.

### Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa

Cornelia has a security barrier at the main entrance. The driver presents the booking reference (they carry this on their phone). The barrier opens and you proceed to the main hotel portico. Porter service is available at arrival — hotel staff in uniform will take your golf bags from the vehicle. Have your passport accessible as ID is checked at the gate.

### Gloria Golf Resort

Gloria has two distinct entrances and this matters for golfers: the main hotel entrance is for guests arriving without golf equipment deliveries. If you have golf bags, the east entrance (signed "Gloria Golf Club") provides access to the golf club reception, which is adjacent to the club storage. If you want your clubs stored directly at the club rather than your room, tell the driver to use the east entrance and specify this at booking.

### Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort

The entrance road to Regnum Carya ends at a roundabout with a drop-off with porter service. Allow 3 extra minutes here — there is often a brief queue of arriving vehicles at the roundabout. The porter service is excellent; staff will unload the golf bags and transport them to either the golf club storage or your room on request.

### Rixos Premium Belek

The entrance gate requires the driver to register your booking reference. Once inside, there is a staffed drop-off canopy at the main hotel entrance. Porters in Rixos uniform will take luggage at the canopy. The golf bag can be taken directly to the resort's golf club (note: Rixos uses the Belek Golf Club facilities nearby, not an on-site course). Specify where you want your clubs delivered.

### Voyage Belek Golf & Spa

Voyage has a dedicated golf storage facility adjacent to the marina. Drop-off at the main entrance is standard. If you are checking into Voyage primarily for golf, the driver can take you to the golf club entrance on the eastern side of the property.

### Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort

Maxx Royal has a checkpoint gate. Driver registers, proceeds to the hotel entrance. Club storage is at the golf centre on the south side of the resort. Standard drop-off is at the main hotel lobby — golf bags can then be transported to the golf centre by hotel staff.

Book 48 hours in advance during peak golf season. April, May, June, September, and October are peak golf months in Belek. The weather is ideal (18–30°C), courses are fully operational, and minivan demand from golf groups is high. Last-minute bookings in these months may face limited minivan availability.

What to put in the special requirements field:

Night arrivals with golf equipment: the 30% night surcharge applies to transfers departing after 22:00. Golf season means many golfers arrive on afternoon/evening UK charter flights that land around 20:00–22:00. If your flight lands at 21:00, the transfer departs before 22:00 — no surcharge. Landing at 21:30 might push departure past 22:00 depending on baggage time. Check at booking.

Night prices to Belek: sedan €104, minivan €137.

Return transfer: book both legs together. For the return, allow extra time to retrieve clubs from the golf club storage (not always in your room). Typical recommendation: arrange the return driver pickup 30 minutes later than you think you need.

Group golf trips to Belek are common — Cornelia, Gloria, and Voyage regularly host groups of 4–12 golfers travelling together.

4 golfers in a minivan: the minivan seats 6 comfortably. 4 hard golf cases + 4 suitcases load in a standard minivan. Split the cost between 4 passengers:

6 golfers in a minivan: the maximum. 6 passengers + 6 golf bags + 6 suitcases will likely overflow a standard minivan. At 5–6 golfers with multiple hard cases, ask at booking whether a larger vehicle or second vehicle is needed.

8–12 golfers: minibus is appropriate. €180 ÷ 8 = €23 per person. The minibus (Mercedes Sprinter 19-seat with rear boot area) comfortably accommodates 8 hard cases.

Organising the group: the group leader should book in advance, specifying the total number of passengers and bags. All passengers are collected from the same meeting point in Terminal 2 Arrivals Hall.

Split arrivals: if group members arrive on different flights within a 2-hour window, it is often possible to arrange a single vehicle that waits. Confirm this at booking — there may be an additional waiting fee after the standard 60 free minutes.
