I should have realised things were not as they should be when I drove into the car park, it was almost empty, the guy at the bag drop was pleased to see me, he must have been bored to tears doing nothing. He directed me to the Pro shop where I met the lady pro, this is when I found that I must have had a "senior moment" as I had turned up a day early for my game, I thought it quite funny, the lady didn't even crack a smile, never mind, all I wanted to do was play golf, I had only travelled from the UK for this holiday, but only driven just over a mile from where I was staying. Off I went to play the East & South nines. The first tee was extremely scruffy, the rest turned out to be the same. The fairways were in good shape, but very wet, there are lots of water hazards and the water level is high, this is probably why the fairways are so wet. The greens had lots of brown and bare patches on them, the cut was high, and all had several unrepaired pitch marks. I only played 13 holes, to me this is a very boring and uninteresting course, which needs some serious TLC. Also there are too many look alike holes. If you like a bit of a challenge there are far better courses out there to spend your hard earned $ on than this. Go find a par three course, you'll have a better time!
