on Sun, 19th Jun 2022 Easier than Faldo, still a beautiful course Very good course to play, a bit easier than the Faldo course. Also it was really busy so we waited at every hole. Still had a good day and the staff was kind. |

on Wed, 11th May 2022 O’conner in Great Shape May 2022 The practice Green has some devilishly difficult breaks to read around the pins but fear not the O’Connor Jr course greens are more straightforward to read. On the day of play they were in wonderful condition running fast and true and with minimal unrepaired plug marks. The bunkers were perhaps the best I have ever encountered. There was 1/2” of dry light sand with a wetter layer underneath in every one I encountered (4 or 5). A highly skilled player could pick the ball off the dry layer taking relatively little sand or a mid handicapper or less proficient could take more sand and find the sand wedge travels through the wetter sand without encountering a hard-packed base layer. Such uniformity between bunkers is quite rare. The fairways were in excellent condition although one could quibble that the grass on the yellow tees, being most used, could have been more uniformly cut to a slightly shorter length. The design was very enjoyable with a well defined shape to most holes. The yellow tees suited my average driving distance of 230-240 yds. If you are a longer hitter you will find the landing areas narrow or run out in some cases beyond 240 yds off the yellows and it might be less risky to play off the whites. Although there is water on the majority of holes I only found it only on one hole although to be fair wind speed was only 10mph or less. On a windy day expect to lose more balls. I thoroughly enjoyed the round. |

on Thu, 30th Sep 2021 Not up to usual high standard Over the years have played this course (&the Faldo), several times. Unfortunately on this occasion our visit was very disappointing. The usual meet & greet service was not in place, poor service in the bar/ restaurant with very limited choice available. The condition of the practice range & putting green was poor. Onto the course and it is evident it is suffering from a lack of attention. Teeing grounds and their surrounds looking not cared for. Fairways were in good condition but the greens far from their usual high standards. Halfway house was open and friendly staff member with basic but good selection on offer. I am sure they have suffered during the pandemic with lack of visitors and staffing issues but things need to improve given the premium prices being charged. |

on Wed, 22nd Sep 2021 This was a fine looking course but the greens and bunkers were not brilliant, the greens played quite slowly and the bunkers were very compacted (although we did see the course staff working on them) |

on Tue, 27th Oct 2020 Has potential Has potential to be much better. The layout was really good, no silly holes and a few real challenges. Fairways in v good condition but tee boxes were overgrown and badly prepared and the greens are struggling from a bit of infection, as well as being far too long. Course felt like it hadnt been looked after for the last week or two so should have been a bit cheaper. Putting green was not usable and course lacks distance markers to greens. However, cut the greens and redo the tee boxes and it’s a championship course but in current state, the old course and victoria offer much better value. |

on Thu, 1st Oct 2020 Decent Day out !! A typical resort style course with wide fairways and big greens , pretty Location and nice variety with dog legs . Highlight is the condition of fairways , absolutely top Class , Greens were mixed with a lot of bumps and lumps . The tee boxes were in bad condition , they looked like they had been resodded and relayed ! Anyway we did enjoy the course and it’s a lovely resort |

on Sun, 22nd Sep 2019 An enjoyable day out A real resort course, not too difficult but has plenty to offer in terms of water, bunkers and length. Hard to miss a fairway yet the course is well protected. An enjoyable place overall, with a clubhouse to savour too. The back nine is a treat especially the last few holes. |

on Wed, 3rd Jul 2019 A bad day of golf is better than _____. Not here. Chaotic club house, terrible pace of play, slow greens, scorched fairways, and worst of all, warm beer off the cart (which came around once). I should have stayed on the beach...speaking of which, the traps were sloppy, too. |

on Sun, 16th Jun 2019 Love this course! Great layout and excellent condition. Staff all very pleasant and practice facilities are excellent. The only thing that slightly spoiled the experience for me was the slow rate of play. There are plenty of stewards on the course but they appear unwilling to do anything about slow groups. Will definitely play again though. |

on Fri, 7th Jun 2019 Great course for intermediate & good golfers Lovely course layout and good facilities, well conditioned tees fairways and greens when we played in June. I would recommend for 18 or lower handicappers, lots of water and impenetrable plants line the fairways so if you’re not straight off the tee bring balls, lots of balls |

on Sun, 15th Oct 2017 Only if you are on your game Be precise on all of your green approaches. There is water, ditches & bulrushes everywhere. You will need a course plannner & yardage, if you want to finish with the ball you started with? |

on Tue, 20th Jun 2017 Fantastic course! Course was in fantastic condition - the fairways were like carpets and the greens were smooth and ran well. A fair test of golf with wide fairways and big greens but plenty of bunkers and water also. The buggies are very smart, but a little too smart at times, meaning you have to reverse out of places which is a slight inconvenience. Also great views from the 19th! |

on Wed, 3rd May 2017 Disappointing round on a very nice course Nice, scenic course with excellent greens. Unfortunately due to the time of year the course had far too many people on and from what I saw the clubhouse should be very strict on handicaps as our round took 5 hours and we were held up on every hole!! Disappointing round on a very nice course!! |
