Good Challenge For All Golfers

Solid course, good mix of holes, diverse par 3's, exciting shots over water, blind shots and true greens make for a tough challenge for all golfers. Multiple tee boxes to choose from and take advantage of the photo opportunities on 9 & 18. Really good course for the locals and tourists to tesst their game. Surprisingly played a Sunday afternoon round in 4hrs 10 mins
