The views you get because of the routing are unparalleled. It forces you to play such a wide variety of shots & each hole is distinctly memorable. #10 is my favourite hole on the course, the hole is a crescendo of increasingly narrow fairway up to an arena green with punishing bunkers surrounding.

A must play in the middle of nowhere. Exciting holes, rugged bunkers and a great selection of holes. Top notch practice facilities, excellent snack bar.
