About National Golf Club

The National is the first golf course on Turkish Mediterranean, which has been developed with the guidance and in accordance with the standards determined by European PGA and is open to members and day visitors. Carved through a forest of eucalyptus and pine trees with the backdrop of the snow-capped Taurus Mountains and an abundance of natural lakes, The National tests all abilities of players. Since the opening of the National on 18th November 1994, the club has become a popular tourist destination attracting golfers from all corners of the world. European Ryder Cup player David Feherty finalized the design, and many players regard it as his finest course to date. The course itself regularly makes it into lists of the top 100 course in Europe, and it regularly plays host to tournament golf. It certainly offers something special for golfers of all ages and abilities.

The club compliments extensive practice facilities and fully serviced club house. This, coupled with an international management team and PGA golf professionals, ensure that the National rightly takes its place as the leader in Turkish golf, and can put many traditional European competitors to shame.

This is a truly magnificent 1,000,000 m² (6429 m, par 72) course, which is routed thoughtfully across gently rolling terrain and through mature pine and eucalyptus trees and an abundance of natural lakes. The snow-capped Taurus Mountains provide a provocative backdrop especially as the course is bathed in warm sunshine for the vast majority of the year.

Holes: 1-9: Irmak Course; 10-18: Tuna Course; 19-27: Ada Course (closed).
