I've been a member here for 10 years and over all it's on the good side of "fair". The course is well looked after but the greens continually let it down. Holes are varied and interesting, but space is tight so everything can get snarled up when the course is busy, which is often.

There is a "dry" nine (the front, south) and a "wet" nine (the back, north). Front has a couple of nice par 5s to start but only the 5th hole (par 4 lay up and then cross the water) presents a serious challenge on this side. The back is tight and unforgiving. If you're wayward, bring plenty of ammo! Big hitters can have a go at the green on the par 4 17th.

Tee slots are 9 minutes apart, which is insufficient during busy periods and exacerbates the overcrowding problem. But golf on the island is over-subscribed, with the waiting list for the Royal running at about 20 years(!), so Les Mielles is always going to be busy.

Watch the website for online specials and avoid weekends if at all possible!
