Colin Montgomerie’s course at Belek is the one most European Tour fans already know by sight. It staged the Turkish Airlines Open four times between 2013 and 2019, when Victor Dubuisson won twice, Brooks Koepka took his first European Tour title and Tyrrell Hatton came through a six-man play-off. The routing runs through about 104 hectares of seaside pine forest beside the Maxx Royal Belek hotel, with eight lakes and roughly seven hectares of sand. Holes 10 to 18 are floodlit, so a late back nine is part of the routine here.
Montgomerie Maxx Royal green fees and tee times.
The club does not run an online tee sheet. Book by phone with the golf club on +90 242 710 27 00 or through the Maxx Royal bookings line on +90 242 444 62 99, or by email to book@maxxroyal.com. Belek tour operators also sell rounds here in packages, often with rooms at the Maxx Royal or other Belek hotels, and Leading Courses lists the club for visiting golfers. You need a handicap certificate: the published limits are 28 for men and 36 for women, which is stricter for men than most Belek courses. Soft spikes only. Green fees are not published on the official websites, so ask the club or your operator for the current rate for your dates.
The round, in perspective.
Montgomerie designed the course with European Golf Design, and it opened on 1 September 2008. It is par 72 and 6,522 metres from the black tees, starting and finishing with par fives. The club publishes a slope of 143 for men from the black tees and 125 from yellow, so it is a serious test from the back. The 5th is a 205-metre par three over water. The 6th, 441 metres with an undulating fairway, is stroke index one, and the 12th, at 448 metres, is close behind. Two tall pines stand in the middle of the fairway on the 13th, a 516-metre par five. The 16th is a 165-metre par three, and the closing hole is a 510-metre par five back to the clubhouse tower. Greens average about 600 square metres and every hole has four tee boxes.

Make the trip work.
Ask for your start time with the floodlit back nine in mind: an afternoon tee time can finish under the lights in the short winter days. The practice ground is generous, with a double-ended 25-bay range, a 1,010-square-metre putting green and separate chipping and bunker greens, and lessons run seven days a week. Every December the club hosts the grand final of the Maxx Royal Cup, its amateur series, so the course can be busier then. The two-floor clubhouse has a 30-metre tower above the 18th green, a terrace restaurant, the Bueno Steak House and the Ryder Bar.
Antalya Airport (AYT) is the arrival point for almost every Belek trip, with direct flights from much of Europe and connections through Istanbul. The course is on Belek’s main tourism strip, roughly 40 kilometres east of the airport, which is usually about 40 minutes by transfer. Most hotels and golf operators include the airport run.
The Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort is next to the course and runs an ultra all-inclusive concept, with suites, lagoon suites and private villas on the beach. The club’s website also lists the Voyage Belek resort under accommodation. Belek’s hotels sit almost shoulder to shoulder along the coast, so many golfers stay at one resort and take a shuttle to a different course each day. Antalya city is a better base only if you want restaurants and nightlife over beach and golf.
Make a trip of it.
Gloria’s 45 holes are a few minutes east along the same road, and Cornelia’s Faldo Course is a few minutes west, so three very different designers are within a short drive. The National, Turkey’s first championship course, is around 15 minutes towards Kadriye. Away from golf, the Köprülü Canyon national park, about an hour inland, is known for rafting on the Köprüçay river, and Antalya’s walled old quarter, Kaleiçi, makes a good evening out.
Find your season.
Belek golf peaks in spring (March to May) and again from October to November, when the days are warm but not punishing. Summer heat is intense, so floodlit back-nine rounds come into their own from June to September. Winter is mild, and December brings the Maxx Royal Cup final to the course.
Yes. Tee times are booked by phone or email through the club and the Maxx Royal bookings team, and Belek golf operators include the course in packages for guests of other hotels. Carry a handicap certificate: men need 28 or better and women 36 or better.
How much is a round at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal?
Neither the club nor the hotel publishes a green fee online. Prices are given on request by the bookings team on +90 242 444 62 99, and tour operators quote them as part of packages, so compare a direct quote with a package before you commit.
Is the Montgomerie course in Belek floodlit?
The back nine is. The club says holes 10 to 18 are lit, so you can play them after dark. The hotel’s website mentions illuminated holes too, but the club’s own course page is specific to the back nine.
Which Turkish Airlines Open winners won at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal?
Victor Dubuisson won in 2013, with Tiger Woods and Justin Rose tied third, and again in 2015. Brooks Koepka won in 2014 at 17 under. Tyrrell Hatton won in 2019 after a six-man play-off, beating Matthias Schwab on the fourth extra hole.
