Characteristics

The course is situated in a great environment, you can see the mountains. The 18-hole course is divided into two parts, for one thing the difficult first 9 holes and for another thing the a bit easier second 9. The course is rather land and therefor demands for a good long game.

Overpriced and under prepared

It's not such a bad course, but at +/- €80 it really is way overpriced for what it offers. There are too many short par 4s of 325m or less (6) which is not a real test. The information boards are rudimentary, at best. If you take a buggy you have to stay on the driveway, which is always on one side of the fairway. So if your ball lands on the other side you can be faced with quite a long walk, relatively speaking, to and from your ball. This slows everything up and in dry weather, when the ground is hard, is quite unnecessary.
The course was scruffy and needs more work from the maintenance staff. This doesn't require much imagination - just a stronger sense of determination to improve the presentation.
Finally, the prices in the bar are a joke, or to be more polite, a not-so-gentle rip-off.

I won't be playing this course again!

Half the course closed put the price is almost for the 18

Played the front nine (the only open holes) in Sept 2012. The course should have reopened in April, by the end of August, and at the moment one did not know when. And as I understood it they then are going to close the front nine.
I would guess the course really needed some renovation. Soft greens unkept fairways. It is as so many courses in the South of France short, but the play is fairly simple and the views are not so great. I would at this stage not recommend anyone to pay som much money for so little golf as it is at the moment, almost 60 Euros. Then there are nicer 18 hole courses for the same price in the region.
I just hope that the renovation of the course makes it better and I would for sure give it a try when all 18 holes are open.
