As a member of "Zwarties" I always receive a very warm welcome and know most of the blokes at the Pro Shop... Always enjoy the course and know it well... Overall a very nice course. The one thing that does irritate me a little is the dress code that is not enforced, there are always guys with shirts hanging out and wearing strange pants with "100's" of pockets etc... They need to jack that up asap.

This is an excellent Parkland Golf course with a variety of different holes from reachable park 5's to long tight par 4,s.
The course has loads of trees and these come into play on many of the holes, being on the wrong side of them is a really daunting experience. During winter the greens become very slick and they can be difficult to hold so use a soft ball and come in high.
