Gloria Golf Club’s vision to develop its world-class facilities has seen the pioneer of Turkish golf partner with leading putting coach Phil Kenyon to open mainland Europe’s first ‘Phil Kenyon Putting Academy’.
Situated within the Gloria Golf Training Academy – the nation’s first facility of its kind – the Phil Kenyon Putting Academy is open to golfers of all abilities looking to improve their games on the green.
Highly regarded as one of the world’s best putting coaches, Kenyon has worked with a number of the game’s best players, including major winners, amateurs, teams and organisations, and was hailed by Scottie Scheffler following his 2024 Masters victory for helping the world number one transform his game with the flatstick.
The facility at the 45-hole complex in Belek is only the fifth in the world to open under the Phil Kenyon Putting Academy umbrella.
Kenyon said: “I am delighted to launch our new Phil Kenyon Putting Academy at the Gloria Golf Training Academy. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this facility as we work alongside Gloria Golf Club to help develop golf in the region.”
Gloria Golf Club has also further elevated its coaching experiences by partnering with GRF Golf – a popular social media golf coaching channel that helps players find and improve their individual swing.
Individual GRF Golf lessons are now regularly available at Gloria, as well as a four-day coaching school with daily coaching from creator Marcus Bell and Gloria Golf Training Academy coaches, and on-course training with former DP World Tour star Mark Foster.
David Clare, director of golf at Gloria Golf Club, said: “We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Phil Kenyon and GRF Golf to enhance the fantastic facilities at the Gloria Golf Training Academy.
“Phil shares our vision for helping to grow the game of golf here in Turkey, and we are looking forward to welcoming golfers from across the globe who are looking to elevate their putting at what we believe is fast becoming one of Europe’s leading golf academies.
“Being able to offer GRF Golf schools is another great addition to our golf offering, and we are delighted to be partnering with the team to further improve golf at Gloria.”
A beacon of Turkish golf, Gloria Golf Club is a fitting place for golfers to develop, with three world-class courses: championship layouts the Old Course and New Course, as well as the nine-hole Verde Course.
