Reviewer comments: |
A very good and well maintained course,
with a great theme and environment. There was a little bit of time spent
waiting for larger and slower groups in front of us to play on, but
everyone who was waiting were chatting and having fun. A highly
recommended course. |

Reviewer comments: |
It was hot, perhaps too hot. The runs were as fast as glass
and there were just too many people. I waited at the 11th for a full 15
minutes before playing. The whole round took me over one and a half hours,
so I'm afraid I lost interest towards the end.
Having said all this, it was an excellent fun course and a good venue for a competition. If I'd have had a clear run I'm sure I would have enjoyed it immensely. Play it! It's a real toughy. |
