In my golf course review I would have to say this is one of the best challenging courses you can play. I played from the very back tees so its just over 7000 yards if your not hitting it straight off the tee you are going to be in for a long day. It has some of the best holes I have played you have the short 5th, a tee shot over water then the stream runs up in front of the green a great looking hole as well as the 11th hole a par 3 200 yards down hill over water again a great looking hole. I played the course in march so the course had just had some work done on it greens were slow and bumpy but its getting ready for the summer you can see it will be in great condition very soon. Staff are great they make you feel very welcome.
A must play.

This is the best course in the South West by far in my opinion. Its a great design by Jack Nicklaus. A tough challenge from every tee plus a great setting. There are so many good holes to write about; the 5th is a great looking hole, tee shot is over water then your second shot is a short one but still tricky with a creek by the green, 11th a par 3 plays from around 200- 150 yards downhill with a lake in front of the green and has a feel of Augusta to it. The18th is also a great hole to finish on a long par 4 with water just of the edge of the green with the hotel and clubhouse over looking, just make sure you take plenty of balls with you!!! You can see why the European Tour is going back there again.
I just wish this course was closer to home I would play it every day and would never be disappointed. I have been going there for more than 20 years and have never had a bad time.
It has everything there with the hotel and spa and lots more to do. Staff and members make you feel very welcome
Its a must golfing break or day out.
