007’s Rating
The club is well facilitied with high standard hotel rooms(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), swimming pool, spa treatment(1, 2, 3).
I’d played the Canyon course this time, the layout is good and very interesting to play. Lot of elevation, hazards, require carry.
Beautiful natural scenery with mature trees.
In general, the services is good, before teeoff, you will be informed the speed of greens, and they serves ice drinks and cold towels at the middle of your game.
Buggy are available but not many, caddie will carry your bag all the way, tough job!
