Course research
Public resort golf. The current official site does not publish a numeric ordinary public advance-booking window or exact daily release clock time. Older secondary material says 7 days, but that should remain unverified. Community reports show solo play can occur when inventory permits, but no formal current online single-booking rule is published. Treat as inventory-dependent and call the golf shop if needed.
Very good overall in 2026 and generally fast. Current reports praise coverage, receptiveness and subtle contour, with occasional speed inconsistency, dampness or unrepaired ball marks. Fairways are strongly positive with healthy coverage and good lies. Thick Kikuyu rough is a meaningful penalty. Bunker sand quality is generally good, though raking/moisture can vary.
Classic accuracy-first tree-lined inland resort course. The front nine is tighter and more intimate; the back opens visually while adding more elevation. Thick Kikuyu rough, fairway slope… Harder than the yardage first suggests. Current official championship setup is 6,703 yards at 73.5/134, but the main challenge is dispersion, Kikuyu rough, elevation, small targets and strategic tee positioning.
Moderate physically. Walking appears permitted via current secondary data, but official policy/rate remain unverified; the more elevated back nine makes it meaningfully harder than flatter inland courses. Walking is supported by current secondary course data but not explicitly by the official site; public walking price is unknown. Cart inclusion/add-on economics are also not published. Physically… Classic…
Generally good-to-fast. Recent detailed 2026 rounds were around 3:30–3:45, while broader expectations cluster around 4–4.5 hours; group-management issues can still create isolated slow rounds.
