#13...276 yards! Why you need driver on a par 3 course Photo submitted by u000004034511 on 03/18/2017
Lame Course
It was my fault for not researching the course prior to booking. Upon my arrival I discovered that it was a par 3 course. #'s 13 and 14 were the only enjoyable and challenging holes. Nice layout for a par 3 course but definitely not for me......
Love it
Everything about it is excellent. Great par 3. Lots of iguanas!
Challenging Par 3
I played here on a somewhat busy Monday morning. If you're not already a guest at the resort, it is very confusing to find where to park and then be picked up by a shuttle that takes you to an outdoor clubhouse. Allow about 30 minutes extra for this process and be prepared to leave your drivers license at the resort entrance while you play.
After all that, I had a very nice round. The bilingual staff was very friendly and helpful. Most of the greens were in decent shape. There were very large flat sand hazards which added to the challenge. (No rakes in any of the bunkers, for some reason). Nice layout, with some harder holes that require shot placement, including some tougher water holes. The pace was not too slow, but a Marshal could have helped. Iguanas don't bother you, but add to the charm. I would return here for sure.
Excellent
First time playing a par 3. Most enjoyable, surprisingly challenging and very helpful in understanding the whole game of golf.
Course was a real treat. Picturesque, great condition, lots of fun and unique hazards.
I would recommend this course to anyone.
Fun Par 3
Fun Par 3, decent greens, hassle to arrive though. park/ taxi to a tram that takes you to/from the course. Allow an extra 20 minutes
3 and 4 time playing
this is the first course we play when we are in the Myan area. about every year to two years. We love it here. if i want to challlange myself as i am not a long ball hitter i go off the black tees. other wise the Blue tee box suits me. If i am not hitting a straight ball i have left a few in the water. we found the greens short and fast compared to our greens in Canada. made some adjustments and kept most of the putting to one or two. cannot wait to go back and play it again
Not Your Father's Par 3
Not what you would think of a Par 3 golf course. Great challenge and variety of layout. Will play again.
Good par 3 course
The course and the experience was good, but the cost of everything else was expensive.
Par 3 Heaven
Jack Nicklaus design. Bring your A game to play from the back tees. #12 #13 and #14 are the best 3 consecutive holes. The donut hole #17 requires a perfect shot. The finishing hole is an island green that is all carry. Wife and I play this course because of the challenge, course condition and the staff and they don’t disappoint. Tip: If you download the Vidanta app they will do discounted rates from 6:30am to 8:49 am that includes golf clubs for $50. The rentals clubs are AP1s.
