The course

The operator describes the course as a mixture of heathland and parkland with pines and eucalyptus. The signature hole is the 5th, a par 3 over 112 metres. The hardest hole on the scorecard is the 9th, a par 5 over 490 metres. The green of hole 11 is protected by water.

The driving range has 10 open and 4 covered bays. Behind the first tee lies an area for the short game.
