The golf course contains 6,200 yards of undulating fairways & unforgiving shortcuts, this and we promise will be an unforgettable experience by all who play it. The par 70 course is challenging but rewarding!

Please check in with Golf Team before teeing off so to get more information on the course of the day. Yardage books are available in the Golf Shop and caddies can be requested in advance at the time of booking.

We welcome all players to play from any of the tee markers in place. However, we recommend mid to high handicap golfers (men) to play from the Green Tees so to enjoy the Links better.

All players are expected to use the provided divot bags and observe best etiquette respecting the course and other players.
