⭐ Overall Rating

A thoroughly enjoyable course in very good condition overing enjoyable golfing for golfers of all levels. Well laid out, beautifully kept and a feeling of being in nature despite being surrounded by houses.

Despite wider fairways it still offers a challenge due to well placed hazards, contours and bunkers both fairway and greenside.

Great deals available make this a must visit.

📊 RATINGS SUMMARY

Category	Rating	Notes (optional but encouraged)
Overall Condition	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (8.5/10)	The entire course was in very good condition.
Difficulty	⭐⭐⭐☆ (7.5/10)	Wide landing zones of the tee boxes however, wayward tee shots will still get punished with hazards, rough and garden beds waiting to swallow a sprayed ball. Well protected greens with some tough pin placements the day we played.
Tee Condition	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (9/10)	Tee boxes are large in general and it looks like they rotate hitting zones frequently as all were in great condition.
Fairway Condition	⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (9/10)	Nicely kept, watered and mowed fairways, no bare batches anywhere and clearly defined rough from fairways. Great to play of and offering good and true run when landing on them.
Green Condition	⭐⭐⭐☆ (7/10)	The greens were recently cored and sanded. As a result, they were a little furry, however, they still rolled consistently throughout the round just not as quick they will be in about 8 days. They were not breaking as much as they normally would but were still great to putt on. Approach shots played well were stopping as you would expect. Large greens with plenty of contours.
Bunker Condition	⭐⭐⭐⭐(8.5/10)	Bunkers were well kept and had consistent coverage of sand across the course - though we were not in many.
Clubhouse/ Bar & Food	(-/10)	Modern building, looks more set up for visitors than golfers. That said, we did not pop in to the bar/restaurant area. It did look comfortable though. No rating given here
Pro Shop Experience	⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8.5/10)	Welcoming and friendly staff, this extends to when I called to book the round in. Smallish pro-shop but looked to have all the important things available including plenty of cold drinks and a few snacks available. The staff were efficient and polite.
Value for Money	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10)	Unbelievably good value for money especially if you book through Crazy Golf Deals. Quality course in great condition and priced to make it a must on anyone's course list.

📝 THE REVIEW

First Impressions & Standout Features

First impressions are that it looks well loved and oh so green. The houses lining the course do not impose on the course at all. Plenty of bird life, rabbits and kangaroos around the place, apparently lots of snakes too, luckily, we did not come across any of them today.

A resort style course in great condition and an interesting layout as it winds its way across the estate. Almost links style fairways on many holes with undulations and falls, both fairway and greenside bunkers placed strategically to make you have to play the hole rather than just hit your ball anywhere.

Standout features would be the welcoming feel of the course and the way it is so well maintained.

Best Holes or Memorable Moments

The 11th par 3 with the water is a favourite, the shorter par 4 5th needing a precise drive between the fairway bunkers where the hole then doglegs right, leaving a wedge to a nice looking green.

Memorable moment was being on the par 5 second for 2. A second was just the good vibe we had playing and enjoying this course.

💬 General comments or suggestions

The only two things I would suggest are firstly - and this is more for female golfers, a couple of proper toilet facilities on the course would be welcome. Secondly, allow the carts to get closer to the carpark to unload the clubs into the cars after the round.

Everything else was fantastic.
