Local tip

Don't let the flat layout fool you. The greens provide most of the challenge, so positioning your approach shots below the hole makes putting much easier.

Local tip

This is an ideal holiday course because it's enjoyable for almost every handicap. Long hitters won't find many dramatic elevation changes, but accurate iron play and good putting are rewarded. Morning tee times usually offer calmer conditions before the sea breeze picks up.

Local tip

No hotel on site, but numerous hotels are within walking distance.

Local tip

Hole 12 (most scenic) is a lake-lined hole surrounded by mature palms.

Local tip

Hole 18 (signature hole) is a memorable finishing hole with water in play and the clubhouse in view.

Busiest on Saturday mornings, public holidays, and during the winter golf tourism season.

Worst months (July & August) bring high temperatures and busy holiday crowds.
