Modry Las - Poland

Not a bad course even if lacking in great holes. A beautiful site by a lake and that's always nice. Somewhat let down by the maintenance, but that can always be fixed. Not among the best in Europe but a solid choice for anyone in the area.

This course is a step-up from other courses played on a recent trip to Poland. There is an air of quality on the course comparable with something we have come to expect in countries with an established golfing history. Only opened in 2009, I would say that the course is ahead of target in terms of maturity and playability - it certainly exceeded my expectations. As early as the 2nd hole, there is a stand-out hole; a tough par-5 turning right with a water hazard at what can be called an unusual length - crossing the fairway at about 150 yards to the green putting so much pressure on most people's second shots - very clever if you ask me. The 7th is another strong par-5, bunkers at tee shot landing point to a green protected by water and a good looking stone wall. The 15th I am sure can be called the signature hole, here is a mid length par-3, over water with a fantastic bunker short and right that makes its way into the water at the front, for those that know, it is like the bunker on the 15th at Kuala Lumpur G&CC. One small observation of the par-5 16th hole; it is very much like the 7th, mentioned previously - both very good holes but maybe just too similar. Overall this was a great experience which can only improve as in 2016 the long awaited clubhouse will open... Do allow some extra time to play the short 9 hole course here called Orli Las too - very nice indeed.

It's overrated , i wouldnt put this on the first place in Poland. Gary Player signature design assures that this is great golf course with beautiful layout however greens are slow and not properly maintained, it cant be in this class.
