7 Nights, 2 Rounds
Just a short drive from Antalya's vibrant city centre, National Golf Club is carved into Belek's pine and eucalyptus groves, with the Mediterranean never far away. This is one of the area's most established championship tests and it still feels a cut above plenty of the newer resort layouts.
Tree-lined fairways, well-placed bunkers and water that comes into play on key shots mean this is a course for golfers who like to think. Nearly every hole asks you to shape a shot, and the best angle into the green is often the difference between a birdie chance and a scramble.
The greens are large, true and properly contoured, with pin positions that reward a smart tee shot. Find the right side of the fairway and you'll be firing at flags. Miss it and you'll be working around overhanging trees, sand and the occasional nervy carry.
If you're travelling with a group, your partner or going solo, National delivers a proper round in a cracking setting, backed up by the warmth and hospitality Turkey's Mediterranean coast is known for.
Good fit if: you want a strategic Belek round where placement matters more than blasting driver all day.
Best suited to: mid to low handicappers, confident ball-strikers and anyone who fancies ticking off Belek's most established championship layout.

Such is the quality of David Feherty's design, National (6,907 yards) is still regarded as the best course in Belek by many, and has a maturity that belies its youth. Spectacular holes are carved in to the groves of pine and eucalyptus, and there are treacherous water hazards throughout.
National has more of a members club accent than many of the resort courses, and as such is extremely popular. The most established course in Belek, National should be a certainty for a challenging and rewarding round during your next golfing holiday on Turkey's Mediterranean coast.
We caught up with Ladies European Tour player Sophie Walker who finished 6th in the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open in 2014 to talk us through her tips for playing the National Golf Club
"The National is a breathtaking golf course and one of my favourites on tour. It is a very tricky golf course but the variety of tees on offer mean it can be enjoyed by professional and club golfers alike.
My favourite hole on the front 9 is the par 5 4th. It is a short par 5 which values a straight drive in order to go for the green in two. However the whole left side of the hole is protected by a water hazard meaning any stray drive or second shot will be punished. It is very much a birdie or bogie hole for the Ladies on tour.
The best hole on the course for me is the 18th; it says everything there is to say about The National course. The tee shot needs to be precise in order to avoid the fairway bunker and water on the left. The approach shot is very picturesque with the clubhouse at the back of the green.
My tips for playing The National are not to always use a driver off the tee, as accuracy is more important that length. Always take more break than you think on the greens. Try a kebab at the half way house and have a photo taken on the 2nd tee and on the patio with the 18th hole in the background.
It really is a stunning golf course to look at, so enjoy the surroundings and the scores will come."

We were first off the tee in the morning and our group of thirteen players were able to start 2/3/4/4 The front nine fairways had been hollow tined but we were not advised to play preferred lies? The course is being set up for a big comp in May and the green fee should have been reduced to reflect the work in progress. Great layout but far poorer condition than when we played last year.

For the tone of year the course was in order good condition. Shame no one repairs their pitch marks or rakes bunkers though

Good test of golf. Good layout. Grass in the rough very sparse, if you hit it a bit fat it’s not going anywhere. They have floodlights for last 4 holes so no problem getting round if its a bit tight with the light.

This course was not as well manicured as The Carya. It also took ages for food and drinks to arrive and the order was incorrect. Would not return to this course.
