Montgomerie Maxx Royal
A Colin Montgomerie design within the Maxx Royal resort in Belek's pine forest.
Course overview
Montgomerie Maxx Royal winds through Belek's signature umbrella pines on a layout shaped by Colin Montgomerie and European Golf Design. Wide fairways give way to well-bunkered greens that reward precise approach play, while the mature pine canopy provides shade and a sense of seclusion rare among resort courses. Opened in 2008, the course sits within the five-star Maxx Royal resort and benefits from the same high maintenance standards applied across the property.
