Excellent course with excellent facilities, this course is definitely one you have to plan your shots around it’s not a long drive chip and putt. No hole is the same all very different which I love. A buggy is a must I’d say as it’s quite hilly. There is a very nice restaurant and American Golf shop onsite. The green fees are very reasonable. Also onsite there is a pitch and putt and foot golf course.

Excellent golf course very challenging and hilly, greens are in very good condition but are difficult to read. I would recommend this course to anyone but a buggy is a must in my opinion. The facilities and staff are exceptional great bar area driving range with an American golf store onsite.

Excellent facilities, clubhouse is very good with good size bar and restaurant area with very reasonable prices. The course itself is quite challenging although the holes aren't long they do make you think about your shots as the bunkers are placed in very strategic placements. The greens are in good condition and roll very well. The staff at the course are all very friendly and eager to help. Also onsite is an American golf shop for all your needs.
