What our clients think

❝Very enjoyable stay. Room was perfectly comfortable with a short walk from our room to the main hotel for dining/bar/lounge. The couse was in excellent condition & for us as relatively high handicappers quite a challenge as on a number of holes you needed to be accurate off the tee to avoid trouble. However not an unfair course and very enjoyable to play.❞
