A fair amount of earth was moved when sculpting the wide playing corridors here and the fairways weave around residential units on a large, undulating property that’s been enhanced by the installation of several man-made lakes.
The 27-hole facility is set out as three 9-hole courses, with the East and West nines combining to form the 18-hole championship layout. The North nine shouldn’t be dismissed, even though it’s the shortest and easiest of the three circuits, because it’s no shrinking violet at 2,911 metres from the back markers.
Feature holes include the eye-catching par three 12th, played to an island green, and the closing holes on the East and the West (holes 9 and 18), which are laid out on either side of a lake, converging to finish in front of the clubhouse.
The West course is also available for evening play as its fairways are fully floodlit.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
