📝 THE REVIEW

What stood out

Friendly welcoming staff, well versed players/members, great conditions all around.

Best holes or features

3rd and 4th are really fun. 9, 10 and 11 are all short but quite tricky. 12th and 16th are really enjoyable par 5's with a tough approach shot to 12 and the 14th needs precision and a lot of patience.

Who this course is suited for

Most golfers below a 28 handicap could have fun here. Make sure to choose the tees you play off carefully.

Would you play here again?

✅ Yes
It is a great conditioned championship course, good layout and wonderful setting, friendly staff and accessible to the public.

💬 General comments or suggestions

A great day when the wind is not lashing you and we had a suburb Sunday here. Even the starter and course marshals are friendly. The refreshments cart was only spotted once, when we on the 2nd. It would have been nice if it came around a few more times during the round.
