Played three rounds as part of a society golf break. First round (Saturday) took 5.5 hours which is unacceptably long, but others were a more comfortable four hours for a three-ball. Course in good condition but greens were slow. Closing four holes are challenging and picturesque but a lot of the course is rather repetitive with shortish par-4s running parallel to each other.
The biggest problem, as mentioned elsewhere, is that the fairways are much too close to each other which results in people driving towards players coming the other way. Not a course you'd want to play without insurance, and crash helmets would be a good idea.
Well-stocked pro shop with helpful staff and a nice clubhouse bar serving very good food.

Tee boxes are not very flat. Greens were ok. Difficult course were uneven lies for most shots.

Reviewed Sep 7 2014
A very nice course. Tree lined the whole way round with nice use of the rolling hills. Some tight fairways mixed with good use of water hazards.
Greens were quite slow but didn't really matter that much.
Only one down side is some of the tee boxes were not flat which is a bug bear of mine. Apart from that it's a good place to play.
I would play there again when I'm in that part of the world !!!!
