I've played this course about 12 times as a guest of a friend.

My factor is 13 and I lost about 6 balls the first round and expect to lose between 2 and 6 every round. Another friend whose factor is about 19 lost about 12 balls. Another friend's factor is 3 and he also lost some balls and not because of bad shots. This is my main complaint is the number of balls you could lose. I rarely lose balls!

PROS
1. Well-maintained; nice layout
2. Great service - very friendly, free water.
3. Good value for money (if you don't count the cost of lost balls)
4. GPS on carts
5. Reasonable pace of play (if you and others don't spend time looking for lost balls)
6. Nice practice range and greens with free balls

CONS
1. The greens are hard - assuming because this is only their second year.
2. a few blind shots on some par 4s - this means that you could lose a ball
3. on some fairways, even if you hit your ball down the middle, when you arrive at the location, your ball is probably in the first cut and lost! Some of the fairways are peaked in the middle and sloping to either side.
4. GPS does not give you enough warning as you arrive within 100m of the green and you may have to reverse. A rope across would help
5. You have to take a cart given the distance between greens and the next tee. This is not a walking course

SUMMARY
While a beautiful and well groomed course, it is frustrating. Play this course if you want a challenge and don't mind losing balls. It is not a good course for scramble tournaments with average golfers.
