Course Description

By Graham Lawson (106600.2501@compuserve.com)
Course #1

This course was designed by the same designer who constructed the Augusta National. It is, unfortunately, not in the same condition. However, it is a tight, tree-lined course, offering a good test of golf for all levels. The rough is quite punishing for off line shots and the greens are of a good size. Being a municipal course, potential players should be prepared to queue for a tee time very early in the morning during the summer months. However, due to the long hours of daylight, play is possible until 11.00pm in the mid summer.

Course #2

This 18 hole course is in 2 distinct parts as a new 9 was added about 20 years ago. Despite this, many locals think this course a better test of golf than the No1 course. Tree-lined like its sister course, No2 course offers a challenging Par 68. many dog-leg holes make course management a must for all. The only bad hole is the 1st, a par 3 which is prone to water-logging.
