There are two very different courses at Carton House - an inland links course designed by Colin Montgomerie and the O'Meara, a parkland style course.
The Montgomerie course has hosted the Irish Open more than once and is a course where the deep bunkering easily come into play. It's an interesting layout with long grass and is heavily undulating and best yet, it's only 15 miles from the city so makes for a perfect golf and city break.

"My tip before you arrive here is to practice your bunker play, as there are a lot of deep bunkers, and when the wind gently catches your ball you know that's where they'll end up!"

Colin Montgomerie, an 8-time European Tour Order of Merit Champion, was the mastermind behind the design of this championship golf course, which was introduced to the public in 2007.
With a length of more than 7,000 yards from the championship tees, the course poses a significant challenge even for the most skilled players worldwide. However, it offers three additional sets of tees, allowing golfers to play from as little as 5,382 yards. This versatility makes it suitable for players of all levels and a valuable inclusion in any Belek Golf Holiday package.

Despite being born in Scotland and having Scottish ancestry, Colin was brought up in Yorkshire, where his father, James Montgomerie, held the position of Managing Director at Fox's Biscuits.
He dedicated several years to the Ilkley Golf Club, under the guidance, Bill Ferguson and while residing in Leeds, developed a strong allegiance to Leeds United.
Montgomerie was among the pioneering British golfers to pursue higher education in the United States, enrolling at Houston Baptist University. During his tenure, he showcased his golfing prowess by representing the university's golf team and emerging as its foremost player. Additionally, he clinched three significant Scottish amateur tournaments, namely the 1983 Scottish Youths Championship, the 1985 Scottish Amateur Stroke Play Championship, and the 1987 Scottish Amateur Championship.
Colin turned professional in 1987 and was named Rookie of the Year in Europe in 1988. He secured his first professional win at the Portuguese Open, where he won by an impressive 11-shot lead. He continued to climb up the money list, and in 1993, he became Europe's number one player, a position he held for an unprecedented run of seven years.
Affectionately known to millions around the world as "Monty", he is one of Britain's most revered sportsmen, having taken center stage in numerous tournament victories and eight titanic Ryder Cup Matches as a player. In October 2010, he led the victorious 2010 European Ryder Cup Team at Celtic Manor, cementing his status as a highly respected figure in the sport.
His upbringing on Scotland's renowned links and his extensive experience playing top-tier golf courses have honed his discerning eye and insightful understanding of exceptional golf course design. Through Colin Montgomerie Design, he shares his passion for thoughtful, beautiful, and enjoyable golfing experiences worldwide. Each design is infused with Colin's clear vision, prioritizing a harmonious integration with nature and leveraging the site's unique character. Meticulously planned routing maximizes the site's natural features, while highly strategic designs ensure that bunkers pose a moderate penalty and are to be skillfully avoided.
