Barely bigger than a putting green
This course is just too small and short to qualify as a golf course. The driving range is nice, you can play the course with a pitching wedge and a putter

Dandy little course
The curse is a walk on, no reservations which was misleading by the booking agent. Also, it cost more to book on-line than at the golf course.
