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 !!!!

Reviewed Sep 28 2009

Tough greens that do not reward good approaches, very quick and easy to putt back off the green even with the lightest of touches. However, on our third day pins were more central and putting was better rewarded. Long rounds for no apparent reason but a good course, worth a bash if you link it with a break at the hotel while the misses is in the spa!

Unrespective greens and a round of golf that took nearly 5.5 hours lead to a tiring and tedious round of golf. 18 holes crammed into the space for 9 lead to golfers playing from adjacent fairways and too up down for my liking with little on or no variety for serveral holes in sucession. Not for me thanks!

I've played this course a number of times and although it isn't the most testing it was in great condition this time. The fairways were really well-cut and the greens superb. A very enjoyable round!
