Kemer Country Hotel

overall, I really loved this place. We stayed for one night for a celebration. The rooms were lovely, comfortable, clean, and thought out down to every detail. It was so peaceful. Our room opened directly onto the garden, which was great. I also really liked the general layout of the property. You can find so many activities right there, from tennis and basketball to horseback riding. The pool area is great as well, set right under the trees. As for the food, the pizza was great, we opted for the four-cheese, which was excellent. I also had the artichoke salad, which was outstanding. I always appreciate places that actually pull off a great salad. We also ordered pasta, and I had the pesto pasta, it was super fresh and delicious. Honestly, I enjoyed everything. On top of that, the staff was extremely attentive and polite. Thank you!!

Great ambiance, brilliant space. Service is slow, impersonal and detached. English speakers will be at sea with staff

My husband and I have visited this country club before because we genuinely enjoy its beautiful forest setting. Yesterday, we brought friends so they could experience both the atmosphere and the bistro. Unfortunately, the dining experience was very disappointing. This was not the first time we encountered menu issues. On our previous visit, several items were unavailable. Yesterday, my husband ordered a shrimp and avocado salad, only to be told that it couldn’t be prepared because ingredients were missing. Occasional shortages happen, but this seems to be a recurring problem. The four of us ordered Çökertme kebab. I specifically requested my meat to be well done. The food arrived within the promised 12–15 minutes, but every plate was cold—the meat and potatoes included. When I asked if my plate was the well-done one, the waitress replied, “Probably,” and added that all the meat is cooked well anyway. We politely asked for the food to be reheated. When it came back, the entire plates—including the yogurt—were hot, and the plates themselves were extremely hot, making it seem they had been microwaved rather than the meat simply being reheated. At first this was denied, but later we were told that this was most likely what happened. At these prices, this is not an acceptable solution. To make matters worse, our plates were also mixed up when they were returned. A staff member mentioned that someone from the kitchen had sadly passed away in a car accident. Our sincere condolences go out to everyone affected. However, while we sympathize with the situation, it does not justify serving cold food, having repeated menu shortages, and providing inconsistent service at an upscale country club. Another serious concern was the baby changing area. Although we appreciated having a changing station, it was installed directly next to an electrical outlet. While changing the baby, the child repeatedly tried to touch the socket. When we pointed out this obvious safety risk, a staff member told us they had received similar complaints before. That makes it even more concerning that nothing has been done. The changing station could easily be relocated to a safer area. Finally, the restroom had no working paper towels, so we had to dry our hands with toilet paper. For a country club charging premium prices, both the service and facilities should reflect a much higher standard. The location itself is beautiful, and we truly want to enjoy coming here. We hope these issues are addressed because the dining experience should match the quality of the surroundings.

I am an avid golfer, and I travel around the world to play golf in the capital city of each country. The day I planned to fly to Ankara, there were no available flights, so I ended up playing golf in Istanbul instead. I am also a writer and the author of My Golf Journey book. In April 2026, I had the opportunity to play a round with Murat and Vesile at Kemer Country Club in Turkey. I truly enjoyed my round with both of them — they were very friendly and enjoyable to talk to throughout the day. Before my round with Murat and Vesile, I also played a few holes with two young gentlemen who were very polite and respectful. I arrived at the clubhouse almost two hours early, which gave me time to purchase a club-logo shirt to wear during my round. I also enjoyed walking around outside the clubhouse and spending some time practicing on the putting green before teeing off. The course was nicely designed, featuring a few interesting risk-and-reward holes. I especially liked the par-3 holes that played downhill and offered beautiful views below. The club also had great amenities that added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Kemer Country Club to anyone visiting Istanbul, Turkey, especially golfers looking for a memorable golf experience.
