Its a nice course, 6600yds or so off the daily tees. Water in play on all 4 par 3's, but there not overly long. Some longish par 4's that require a draw on most of them. Par 5's are all about the 550yd mark, but 6th is reachable in 2 with drive and iron if you drive it long enough over the mounds on the left in view from tee. Its an open enough course with little or no protection from the wind if it blows.

Very long course for an average hitter, decent test off the whites (6900yards). Lots of nice holes. Par 3 18th is a nice finish. You'll well enjoy it

Tip: 1st hole plays slightly dog-leg left

How did you get on mate?

Nice course, a hoor in the wind. A few weak holes though where there is too much space for drives to be hit badly and still be able to make par easy enough.

Yours etc,

Loved it! Very, very nice course. Quite open off the tee, yes, but tough around the greens. I actually hit the ball half decent but had one of those days where I turned pars into bogeys and bogeys in double-bogeys. Very frustrating. Loved the course though and will certainly be back.

I picked up an offer for a round for two and meal for €55 a few weeks back and used it yesterday on this course.
Have to say the fairways were in near perfeck nick, beautiful amount of grass to reward your fairway shot and only one or two puddles/waterlogging here and there. First green looked rough but all else were playing well. Wind was very strong though (as also the case the last time I played there), needed a perfect drive and two 3 woods to reach the first par 5.
Played well despite the strong wind but was amazed at the condition of the fairways, not a blemish and beautiful to play off.
Grub afterwards was fine too.

I played it too on one of those groupon deals. For what we paid it was great value and it is a nice course but I thought it was over long
( played from whites, its a monster from the blues). It would have been nice to see a few shorter par 4s mabey taking the water features into play. The wind on the day I played seemed to be into our faces on most par 4s which did'nt help. The €55 euro deal for 2 including lunch is a snip...

I really liked this course too. Not having a dmd I really liked that fairway distance markers are to the centre of the green - hardly ever see this elsewhere. It's long but at least not too punishing on wayward tee shots.
