Scene is set for bumper Turkish Airlines Open
Published: Last updated:
Situated on the breathtaking white sands of the Belek coastline, The Maxx Royal Golf & Spa is gearing up to welcome 77 of the world’s best golfers for the inaugural Turkish Airlines Open from November 7th – 10th.
In less than a month’s time, the luxury resort will be welcoming the likes of World #1, Tiger Woods; FedExCup winner, Henrik Stenson; U.S. Open Champion, Justin Rose; and Ryder Cup hero, Ian Poulter; all of whom have confirmed their attendance at the highly-anticipated event.
This will provide the perfect opportunity to showcase the resort’s unrivalled offerings and hospitality on the world stage, and strengthen its position as Turkey’s leading holiday destination.
Designed by 2010 Ryder Cup Captain, Colin Montgomerie, the Montgomerie Maxx Royal championship course is in spectacular condition and ready to provide a suitable test for the penultimate event of the European Tour’s inaugural Final Series.
The newly modernised clubhouse will also be revealed for the tournament, following an extensive €2 million investment, ready to welcome a wealth of players and spectators alike.
Head Course Superintendent, Ben Lovett is excited about the prospect of welcoming the world’s best, “For me it is always exciting to host a tournament, but to be bestowed the honour of hosting the first ever European Tour event in Turkey is a real privilege. Due to the nature of the Final Series, the tournament is guaranteed to have one of the strongest fields on the European Tour this year.
“It is daunting to think so many great players are going to be competing on our golf course in such a high stakes golf tournament, but I am extremely confident our entire team will shine under the spotlight and deliver a course in pristine condition, showcasing the quality of golf on offer here in the Belek region.”
Measuring at over 7,093 yards, the par-72 layout has undergone a number of changes to ensure that it is perfectly prepared to host the tournament.
