While the fairways can be a little scratchy at times, the course is a delight to play. A great mix of holes from the very first where you only need hit iron from the tee on a very short par 4 to the long par 5 10th with OOB on the RHS ready to catch out a big slice (as it did on the 19th hole of a pennants match).
Very sandy if you miss the fairway, there is always a chance of copping a terrible lie which can quickly result in a large score for the hole, but hitting on the fairway will see the possiblility of some good low numbers.
The 9th is an interesting hole that dog-legs to the left. One where the corner can be cut if a driver is hit with a slight fade around the row of trees. And the green on the 18th with its large bunker protecting the front is always a pleasant way to finish the round, especially when the light hasn’t faded to almost darkness as was the case for our first two rounds.
A great little course, again well away from the hustle and bustle of traffic or the city.
