National Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play National Golf Club without battling the heat or crowds?

We always steer golfers towards the shoulder seasons for National. Spring (April-May) offers lush conditions and comfortable temperatures before the summer heat truly kicks in. Autumn (September-October) is equally fantastic, with the course still in prime shape and fewer golfers than the busy winter months.

What makes National Golf Club stand out from other courses in the Belek region?

National truly feels like a classic parkland course, a refreshing contrast to some of Belek's more resort-style layouts. You'll find mature pine and eucalyptus trees framing every hole, demanding precision and strategic shot-making. It definitely has a more established, championship feel that we appreciate.

Is National Golf Club suitable for high-handicappers, or is it strictly for low-handicap players?

Don't let its championship pedigree intimidate you - National is surprisingly playable for all levels, provided you choose the right tees. While the tree-lined fairways demand accuracy, the landing areas are generally fair. We strongly recommend playing from the forward tees if you're a higher handicapper to truly enjoy the experience without too much frustration.

What's the post-round experience like at National Golf Club - any specific recommendations for food or drinks?

The clubhouse at National offers a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere after your round. Head straight to the terrace overlooking the 18th green for a well-deserved drink and some local Turkish meze. The service is always attentive, and it's the perfect spot to recap your birdies and bogeys in comfort.

What's the typical cost expectation for a round at National Golf Club, and are there any ways to save?

Green fees at National are generally on par with other top Belek courses, often ranging from €100-€150 depending on the season and time of day. Your best bet for value is to book a package deal through a local golf tour operator, which often includes transfers and multiple rounds. Playing in the afternoon can sometimes offer a slightly reduced rate.
