A wonderfully challenging Par3

This course is one of my favourites.

Even though on a bad day I donate balls to the ponds and tall grass, this course is really good.

Fast play and challenging. Highly recommend.

Good short course with sand and water

I always enjoy this par 3 course. It has a variety of hazards and is well maintained.

Saturday practice

Course was good. Pace of play needs to be addressed as too many Foursome’s backed up. Tee times should be spread out in a planned fashion and the Marshall should do a periodic tour of the nine holes to ensure a consistent pace of play.

Great place to hone your game

You need to think your way around. There are challenges on every hole, but it is fair And rewards with good greens.
