“The course demands length and precision off the tee. Generous fairways with thick rough. Green complexes were large with excellent rolling greens with contours, ridges and breaks that made the putting challenging and entertaining. Pin placements changes your attack on many holes. The use of the native areas added to the value of many holes despite its urban setting."

“A very average uninspiring course that was narrow and had mostly pancake flat greens."

“Very challenging course with high shot values and forced carries. A gem of a design with above average conditions. The restaurant is excellent and staff very friendly. Excellent practice facility."
