This is as near to a links-style layout as possible, but including a fair amount of water and two par 6's. The course is well designed, beautifully maintained and scenically superb to play on − a must for the true golf addict. It should get you excited and thinking about every shot and, if you play well, will be one you'll remember. The golf here is as good as it gets in the region.
The score card states that the course is unsuitable for over 18 handicaps with a rule that all balls in the heavy rough be played as lateral water hazards, with 1 shot penalty rather than stroke and distance for a lost ball.

| The 4th 818 yards par 6 is a great test of strategy and shot making. The drive has to carry about 200 yards over a lake to a narrow landing strip – too big a hit will run out of fairway. The hole then turns right over water to a more generous landing area, but is difficult to judge. Alternatively, lay up along the fairway leaving a longer third. Whichever, it’s a long precise shot with water left, just where the fairway narrows. The green has a protective rear back but there’s a bunker short left and the lake is also still in play! |  |
| The 9th 380 yards par 4 is a great dog-leg right initially uphill, but then down and over a ravine to a raised green for the second shot. The inside of the dog-leg is protected by bunkers, so keep left and make sure you hit the fairway. The second shot is uphill so a half to full club more should see you hit the green – but don’t be left, as the nearby forest is ever ready to swallow up errant balls. The green slopes towards you, so being below the hole is good. Par is a good score here, but the hole will keep you thinking. |  |
| The 18th 515 yards par 5 is a great finishing hole by virtue of the choices of play. The fairway is split by a rockery, which is best avoided as most balls ending up in it are unplayable. Hitting the right side of the fairway is advised. It’s then split by a bank, the left being protected by water, the right by a hilly forest. A 4 or 5 iron is most likely the correct selection. For the third, consider a wedge or 9 iron to a small target guarded by a bunker left and a slope to water and forest right. This hole played on, or near, handicap is immensely satisfying. |  |
