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.
