Montgomerie Maxx Royal Host to the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Turkish Open

The Montgomerie, Carton House, Ireland

Dating back to the 17th century, Carton House was formerly the ancestral home of the Fitzgeralds, Earls of Kildare. The “Montgomerie” is the second of two European Golf Design courses on the site, the first being the O’Meara Course which opened for play in July 2002. Located within an open parkland setting the course design is heavily strategic in nature and has a very traditional feel. The course is characterised by its steep faced, penal bunkering and dramatic swales and contouring on and around the greens.

“This is a unique project and I am privileged to be associated with it. You can’t call it a links course, but it plays like a links and has all the characteristics of a links.”
