Disappointing
Reviewed November 20, 2023
The place is very busy. Many beginners who really struggle, but for whom the place is completely unsuitable. Located in the forest, it requires precise play. Unfortunately, etiquette is no longer observed. Players in Hawaiian shirts with beer bottles in their hands are not uncommon. Far too many players are allowed on the pitch and you're constantly waiting. Unfortunately, all of the tees are actually "floor under repair", and there is only one tee for men and women. The distance boards are missing on some tees and there is water on some sprinklers.
Unfortunately, you can find a lot of rubbish in the bushes, as well as large quantities of beer bottles and beer cans.

Beginner Course
Reviewed March 12, 2022
We thought we could practice our short game here and were won over by the reviews. You played 9 holes in about 30 minutes if you can play through. There are a lot of beginners on the course and there are long waiting times. If you are a beginner, the course is challenging as you have to play over water and the fairways are narrow. Not suitable for experienced players and boring.

Small, sophisticated, inexpensive
Reviewed April 13, 2019
For 50 € a full day including rackets (trolley for another 5 €). Driving range 2 € for 24 balls. Neatly cleaned for borrowable material acceptable iron. All in all, its worth money and a cheap affair.
The place has its classification "sophisticated" rightly. Narrow fairways require a precise game, greens are well modeled and fast. Water, small gorge overgrown with huge bamboo, many trees, which felt barely leave room for the ball. Very entertaining to play. Was not too busy in April. With a little patience we were able to start and calmly play our game.
Nature also does the rest with quacking frogs, duck family, turtles on the edge of the pond and plenty of birdsong.
Staff friendly and accommodating.
Can fully recommend the place.

Tricky short course that has it all!
Reviewed April 26, 2018
Beautiful undulating short course, narrow, many obstacles (trees, water, bunker) required very precise game and good approaches! It's really FUN! Who lives in Balaia pays for unlimeted on the day 25 €, others 35 €
Nice clubhouse with a beautiful view over the square! To train extremely well!

Little customer friendly
Reviewed October 23, 2017
Telephone inquiry whether play possible at 13.30H. Information OK, but tournament from 14.30H.
Since we only wanted to play 9 holes, we go. To our astonishment we should pay for 18 hole!!!
Reason: Fee for 9 hole does not exist on this course, although on "Golf. eu"something else stands & we could only play 9 holes (tournament from 14.30H).
Since we did not like to let us go, we decided to play in another place!
