Picturesque and enjoyable

Didn't realize we played here some twenty years ago. Back nine been renovated nicely since then. So many water features now, so beautiful with red hills and grey mountains as backdrop, and of course palm trees. Course in fantastic shape overall. Quick little walk in the park.

Backed up badly!

Had to wait 15-20 minutes to tee off on each hole. Finally just gave up after 9. Should have asked for a voucher but don’t want to play there again unless this is is resolved.

Friendly staff, nice course

Staff here are exceptional, especially for first timers. Course was packed on a Sunday but play was enjoyable. No beverage or bar available.

Beautiful, but worst pace ever!!

Gorgeous spot but don’t schedule a tee time here unless you play at 6am, or like to be waiting. They overstack the tee times to be every 5 mins it seems, and your 18 hole par 3 game can take 4-5 hours. Its horrible. Asked for my money back. This place needs to rethink their bookings and stop having teams of 4. It’s also walking only yikes.

Nice little course

This par 3 is very challenging as it requires accuracy due to the many strategically placed sand traps and the many water features. It is walk only and has a lot of small hills so someone with breathing problems might want to take a day off. The course is well maintained, lots of grass and the greens are quick

Very nice par 3 course

Condition of the course is excellent. Very fun par-3. Some of the holes are a bit difficult and challenging.

Great for working on the short game.

RCC

Decided to play a par 3 course today verses a par 4 course due high winds. Glad I did. Even the little course had big winds. Course was busy but play moved along fine. Course was in great shape. Fun time. Really good value. I will play it again.
