Reviewer comments:

My family played this course 4 times during our stay and it remained as much fun every time.

Hole four is a lovely double camber which rewards the right line, the Ninth has a ramp and tunnel to negotiate and is a testing par 3. The rocky perimeters give some unpredictable bounces and we saw a few wayward shots bounce off the fairway and into the fishpond that surrounds the course (and houses the shipwrecked galleon!) My only criticism is that at only nine holes it is too short.
