Additional Info:

This course is quite difficult, it is over 6500 metres from the back tees, and there is usually always a strong 20-30 kph wind present which adds further difficulty to your game. There are 120+ bunkers on the course as well as many water hazards to negotiate. The course is kept in very good condition with excellent grass coverage on fairways, and rough that can be penal at times. Many of the holes have 'blind shots' on them and it is a good idea to purchase the course guide book prior to the round to help. Play is very strategic as much of the course hazards seem to be placed where you have to look at 'laying up' or trying to 'go for it'. The facilities are very good with a quality restaurant and snack bar. The Pro shop is well stocked, albiet at full price for most things, and the practise facilities are also very good with a 300 metre range, several large putting greens, and chipping and bunker practice areas. Overall the weather conditions will be a contributing factor on your game, if the wind is stillish, then it will be more enjoyable than if it is blowy. Good luck if you play, you will need it.

Summary:
Long, windy, difficult course.
Well maintained, 120+ bunkers and additional water hazards. Many blind shots around course, and easy to loose balls because of this. Many holes appear to be 'tricked up' to make them more difficult, which really isn't necessary because of the ever present strong wind.
Very good practice facilities, with dining and snack facilities

Customer Service:
Very good, although some items seem a little costly
