Course Planner

For more than twenty years it has been a mecca of golf, whether you are a low handicap or just wanting to enjoy a round of golf on your holiday, the course offers golfers of all ages and abilities an exciting challenge.
The setting is incomparable - lush fairways are punctuated by meandering streams, flanked by palm trees and an abundance of exotic fauna, including oleander, jacaranda and mimosas. Lakes provide a home for waterbirds and the golf balls of the unwary! |

Signature Hole
| |
With many good golf holes to choose from, without doubt the 6th, a dogleg left par 5, must be the best hole on the course. |
| |
The drive has to be accurate to avoid two well positioned bunkers, left and right, and your second shot must favour the left centre of the fairway to miss the lake that catches any wayward ball.
Finally, your approach has again to be accurate, to a two tiered green, to give you any chance of that elusive "birdie". |
