Reviewed Aug 22 2020 by Craig, Bolton - rated 4 out of 5 Good challenge, greens battered by tourists
Challenging but fair test of golf... would love to play again in more 'normal' times.Typical championship layout, reasonably long with well placed hazards and undulating greens. Can imagine this is usually a fabulous place to play golf, however, the state of the greens unfortunately ainted our experience on this occasion. At least 6 of the 18 greens were memorable for the vast amount of damage seemingly caused by unrepaired pitch marks which made finding a line for a true roll impossible. Even on the better greens we found the pace to be slower than one would expect of a course that proudly boasts its presence on various professional tours.
Our suspicion, playing in late August 2020 is that the course has been battered by more play than usual during COVID and unfortunately tourists are less likely to take ownership for repairing pitch marks than private club members.
Otherwise the facilities are very good, particularly the driving range and there is a lovely outdoor seating area next to the 18th green. Didn't try the 9 hole course but looked decent.
I will be returning to see how the course fares in normal times as I can't believe the greens are usually in this state.

Reviewed May 18 2019 by Paul W - rated 3 out of 5 Resort course that could be better
The layout is good, the greens are too hard (as in can't be held). Probably a great course to play if you can smash it miles. (Three of the Par 5's are 500 plus, one is 558. Three par 4's are well over 400. The 15th is 446 up the hill)A lot of the holes (Especially the 5's) don't give much by way of risk / reward so the best you'll get is par.
The tee boxes could do with a lot of work being done.
The resort is set up for parties. It's big and corporate.
