FAQ

  • What is the cost going to be?

    Seven nights all inclusive, round trip from Gatwick in London, UK, shuttle to and from hotel, four rounds of golf is approximately $3,000 CAD. This will alter based on exchange rates (CAD:GBP) and upon finalizing the trip.

    The price of The Sunflower Cup package covers the core all-inclusive experience. Additional expenses to anticipate might include room upgrades, fees for extra guests, spa services, and any other amenities or services not specifically included in the booking details. Comprehensive information on available upgrades and additions will be provided. I will work directly with individuals who wish to customize their experience or add elements beyond the standard package.

  • Why Turkey?

    While a beloved destination for Europeans, Turkey offers Canadian travelers a refreshingly unique experience, far beyond the typical golf getaway. This was a key inspiration behind The Sunflower Cup – to create something truly special and different.

    Recognizing that traditional Canadian travel providers don't readily offer packages to this incredible golf destination, I've partnered with UK based providers and to curate an all-inclusive experience for you. Get ready to discover the beauty and rich history of this part of the Mediterranean, once a major Roman port, with abundant resort amenities and opportunities to explore the local culture.

  • What about flights?

    For ease of travel, our UK-based travel partner operates out of Gatwick Airport, which offers convenient connections from Toronto. Please note that the cost of your flights to and from Gatwick is separate from The Sunflower Cup package. However, when it's time to book, I will be working with a local airline to explore a group booking option from Toronto to Gatwick, which may offer a more streamlined experience.

    Of course, if you prefer to arrange your own flights or are incorporating this trip into a larger European itinerary, I am happy to coordinate with you and our travel agency to ensure a smooth process.

  • Who is booking everything?

    The Sunflower Cup is a unique golf tournament concept organized and managed by myself. I am focused on creating an exceptional tournament experience with a distinct destination feel and opening it up to as many people as possible that would like to participate.

    To streamline the booking process for participants, all travel arrangements, including golf reservations, accommodations, and any associated travel packages, will be managed by a dedicated golf travel agency. This partnership allows us to offer convenient and comprehensive booking options for attendees, as well as having an insured, reputable company ensure everything is in place for us.

    Detailed information about our official travel partner, including their contact details and specific booking procedures will be available once we are ready to book.

  • Who is this trip for?

    If you're a group of friends seeking a golf trip beyond the familiar destinations, or a family wanting to blend a relaxing all-inclusive vacation with accessible golf, The Sunflower Cup is for you. It's also ideal for couples looking for a unique getaway with diverse dining and the option to socialize or find quiet relaxation.

    The beauty of an all-inclusive format is its simplicity – arrive, play your rounds, and enjoy everything else is taken care of. This trip is designed for those who want a golf experience that's a little different and a lot more comprehensive.

  • When is this happening?

    Mark your calendars! We are currently targeting the second week of November in 2026 for The Sunflower Cup. This timing is ideal for Canadian golfers, allowing us to extend the golf season after it concludes here and before the busy holiday period begins.

    Stay tuned for the deposit details and payment schedule, which will be shared as soon as we have a strong indication of interest in this unique trip. This is why it is important to complete the feedback form linked below.

    The Sunflower Open is planned with a minimum number of participants in mind. We encourage you to share this exciting opportunity with friends and family to help us reach this goal and make this unique golf trip a reality.

  • Why a tournament?

    More than just a golf trip, The Sunflower Cup is a golf tournament set within an unforgettable all-inclusive vacation. The competitive element, inspired by events like the Causeway Coast Amateur (popular with many from Brampton GC), adds an exciting dimension to the experience.

    With prizes awarded for each round and overall gross and net competitions, there's something for every level of competitive golfer. And while the tournament is central, the opportunity to enjoy recreational golf on top-tier courses is also there. You'll be paired with friends each round, but also have the chance to meet fellow golf lovers.

  • Is anything else being booked for us?

    Beyond the four rounds of tournament golf, the majority of your time is yours to enjoy as you wish, making the most of the resort's all-inclusive amenities and the surrounding area.

    We will, however, be hosting a welcome cocktail reception at the beginning of the trip – a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow golfers, receive important information, and kick off your vacation in style. Additionally, a brief closing ceremony will take place after the final round to celebrate the tournament winners. These events will have their times announced well in advance, ensuring you can plan your downtime accordingly.

  • Are you looking for sponsors? Or a charity component?

    The Sunflower Cup is currently a passion project – I am facilitating a golf trip designed to bring together people for a unique and enjoyable experience. My main focus is on building a community of interested golfers and making this inaugural trip a success. 

    I’m not actively seeking sponsorships at this time. Looking to the future, and with the inspiration from my mum being so central to this, I would love to integrate a charitable aspect in her memory as the event grows. For now, your interest and participation are the most valuable contributions as we work to make this first trip truly special.

  • Can I book more golf?

    Enjoy four rounds of tournament golf as part of The Sunflower Cup , played at some of Belek's finest courses. We'll take care of the transportation with included shuttles to each course. If you're eager for even more golf, additional rounds can be easily added to your itinerary, and I will personally help you with these arrangements once the trip is finalized.

    For those traveling with a group, our online scoring system will allow you to run your own friendly competitions and track scores, whether during the official tournament rounds or any extra golf you play.
