The course has good tee areas, great sculpted bunkers, not just round holes in the ground and good greens. The fairways were alright but the grass was a little long, maybe it was just the time of year.
The course is for the most part very open and with not that many mature trees you can get away with the odd wayward shot, as long as it's not anywhere near the water hazards that scatter the course.
I think that the course has a good variety of holes but seems a little flat, bunkers were very strategically placed on many holes which meant that club choice was a big factor, the 17th being a good example.
There are a couple of holes on the back nine that are not quite as open as the front and you will be punished for wayward shots here. I found the par 3's great on this course with water and bunkers well placed to protect the greens, the par 5's are good opportunities for birdies or easy pars and some of the longer par 4's require solid shots to get to the green in two.
The 18th is a good finishing hole with trees that look like they are in the middle of the fairway, a good drive and you could probably clear them but the suggested route is down the left.
The staff at the club were very friendly and helpful it was just a shame I couldn't freshen up afterwards as the showers were being refurbished. The members I met during my round were very friendly and I was allowed to play through two groups, overall a very enjoyable experience.
