NOT WITHOUT ITS CHALLENGES
WHILE IT IS PRIMARILY A PAR THREE COURSE, SOME OF THE HOLES A ON THE LONGISH SIDE AND OFFER A CHALLENGE ESPECIALLY FROM THE BACK (BLUE)
TEES. IT IS, AS WE DID, POSSIBLE TO GO ROUND THE NINE HOLES WALKING IN JUST OVER AN HOUR SO CHANCE FOR SOME EXERCISE WITHOUT TAKING TOO MUCH TIME. NOT A COURSE FOR A SERIOUS GOLFER BUT IT DOES REQUIRE A DEGREE OF ACCURACY AS THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS WATER AND ROUGH HAZARDS.
Good short game practice facility
This is not really a "golf course" for seasoned golfers to enjoy a round , but more of a quality practice facilty.
Good for beginners learning the game or to practice pitching and putting for more experienced players. Beware that you may have to be patient with beginners and slower players . This appears to be a popular and appropriate venue for this category of player.
Fairways and greens are well maintained.
Great little course to practice short irons
Great course to practice short irons. Provides some challenges. Great facility and driving range
Beautiful 9 hole in the city
White sands is a true gem. It is perfect when you are short on time but still want a good challenge. It is only par 3's but they have water and some nice sand traps.
Nice Par 3 Layout
Fun course for a par 3. It is not a pitch and putt. Tee shots are more like approach shots on a long par 4. Good place to practice your irons.
Challenging
This is the most challenging par 3 I've played so far.
The greens are well protected by sand traps and the greens are pretty fast.
Nice and quick
Good course to start the season with to test your short game. Nice and quick if you are pressed for time in the middle of the week
Short sunny 9 hole course
First time playing white sands. Well groomed, no shade walking course. Bunkers, water and fescue well placed. Demands accurate short play.
challenging par 3
good conditions and hole design. Difficult if you hook or slice, thick fescue. Yardage on each hole could be more varried, but could simply play from blues then hit 2nd ball from whites.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hope to have you back in 2016 :)

Too short of course for the price.
Should have taken 1.75hrs to complete the course and it took 2.25hrs. Much needs a course Marshal
Hi Steve,
It's unfortunate that your round took you 2 hours and 15 minutes. It usually doesn't take that long. We have marshals touring the course as much as we possibly can.
Try us again, I promise you won't be disappointed!
As for the course conditions, I disagree with you. The course is in immaculate shape. Let us know what you didn't like about it so we can better ourselves for the future!

un course for beginners.
We tend to lose a lot of balls between the tall grass and the water!
Hope you enjoyed your round! Don't forget, we have cheap used balls in the proshop for sale! ;)
Look forward to hosting you again

This course is a lot of fun
This course is a great test of your short game. Fun for everyone to play, but a nice challenge for more experienced golfers too. The course also has solid practice facilities, especially the bunker. The quality of the bunker sand is second to none.
Great Par 3 - 9 Hole
Excellent conditions and a great PAR 3 - 9 Hole course. Super deal booking through GolfNow.
Challenge from the back tees.
Great track to practice your irons and putting. Most holes require a precise iron shot of the tee to have a realistic chance at birdy. Well worth the visit.
Great deal
It was a quick round , nice especially since I was with three golfers that do not golf very much.
Great value, you cannot beat the value.
I will be back
Thanks for playing our course Jacqueline, i'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
We've tried in the past to add some shade by placing umbrellas on the course, but we know its not enough. Any suggestions?
