We had played the course about 10 years ago and not thought much of it but we enjoyed it this time.

It has quite a few long par 4s which are a challenge and quite a few water ditches that make you think about club selection. There’s enough space to relax but some greens are well guarded by water which mixes it up a bit.

They were starting lots of people off the tenth and unfortunately this led to an excruciatingly slow front 9. Pace picked up for the back 9 though. Friendly club house and members.

What a great set up. Looking out across the courses with the trees and lakes it reminded me of some of the complexes in Spain.

Just about as good a condition as you can get. Fantastic fairways and lovely receptive greens running at a good pace. Really clever holes that make you think about your shot.

I’m not entirely convinced of the separate 9s thing though. The pace was great on the front blue 9 but we then had to join a line to start our back 9 on the orange course and it was slow going from there. Frustrating for a late afternoon round.
