Club Facilities & Service
The clubhouse is getting a bit old, with basic facilities such as restaurant, proshop, changing room. Services is good though.
Fairway & Green maintenance
Average conditions, some fairways are getting yellowish, but greens are in very good conditions.
Caddy Service & knowledge
Average standard, not an easy task to carry my heavy bag to walk 18 holes.
Course Design
A lot of doglegs, blind shots, island green, good position of hazards, reachable Par 5, long but generous fairways, short but tight fairways, all put together to make the course very interesting to play.

Despite of the average conditions, it is a very interesting course, especially Hole #4 & Hole #10, good judgement and accuracy is needed. For Hole #3, typical a risk and reward hole.
Course is mature though the clubhouse is a bit old.

And you can see plenty of these big birds hanging around!
IMHO, it will be great if the club can renovate the clubhouse and improve the fairways conditions, right now, I will give her a Birdie。3/06
