A very nice course with stunning views that needs to be played more than once as there are quite a few blind shots. The greens were really good, fast and true. The only problem was a slow 4 ball and 3 ball in front that we caught up with on hole 4 and they held the whole course up for 5 hours.
The club house was lovely and the food and wines were to class.

Très beau parcours mais plusieurs trous étaient en réparation dont pas mal de bunkers. -**- A very fine course, but several holes were under repair, including quite a few bunkers.

It’s not a standard policy that prebooked teetimes can’t be changed.

Very nice course. Greens true and undulating. Great views. Course was very quiet in May. Courtesy bus is a money saver if you don't have a car but they time your pickup so you arrive at the corse about 10 mins before your tee time so only a quick practice putt if you're lucky!

Everything was ok, stuff friendly and helpful, only thing is the booking could be mor efficient, 2x4 slow groups in front and a few 2 groups behind them. So we played after the 3rd hole with the 2 in front. There was no marshal on the course. Minus for the Tee positions,, mostly yellow was on blue, and the bunkers were in bad conditions. It was hard rain 4 days ago, but they did not work on the bunkers since there. Greens excellent for this conditions.
