Our Take

Excellent course with great greens, distance and doglegs. Easy 1st to fool you for 2nd and 3rd holes. Relatively easy 4th - beware the wall and the bunkers. Try to land on the 5th. You better have had a good drive. Survive holes 6, 7 and 8 - easy 9 tough 10 and 11 beware the tree on the right, beautiful par 3 13, easy 14, tough 15, 16, 17 and very interesting par 5 18 - try to get on in 2 and you could be in a lot of trouble. Interesting course also very dry in winter.
