PERFECT IN EVERY WAY

Played in a corporate golf day in September. Venue and staff nice and relaxed, course beautiful, greens and fairways just perfect. The course is not long off the blues, but does demand accuracy as there is water everywhere, and you can score well on the numerous Par 5's and 3's. Can't wait to go back! Note: the on-course greens are NOT as scary as the practice green

With 6 par 3's, 6 par 4's and 6 par 5's, there was lots of variety and a real challenge. The course was in great condition, with very well maintained fairways and greens. There was also plenty of water to contend with. The layout was beautiful and it was clear that the course had been very well looked after.

So so good

Each time play here I find I enjoy it more and more. The layout is really good and a fun quirky mixture of holes - obviously no 2 consecutive holes on each 9 are the same par so it keeps it interesting.

Place is also in unreal condition, nothing out of place and the green running the fastest I have ever seen them - a real defense for the course.

One to visit

Beautifully presented course throughout.
The staff are very caring and make you feel very welcome.

The Practice areas are also worth a visit, even the 9 hole academy course is too worth a visit.

What a layout....

Second time I've played here and yet again I was in awe of
how good a test of golf this is and how great the holes are. As you?d
expect from a Severiano Ballesteros design you are thinking from tee until
the ball drops on each hole. 6 each of par 3s 4s and 5s also makes this a unique experience. What is evident is the design of the holes has a let
of the great mans favourite holes and courses....
A truly wonderful experience that was only tarnished slightly by the greens maintenance taking place even tho the greens still ran true and fast...the main disappointment was having to play the signature ?S? 18th hole to a temporary green that 30 mins later was back on the main green....
Still a great experience and one is like to partake in again.
