Very distinguished, very generous
Reviewed April 21, 2018
Esplande Naples we played in 2016 - the clubhouse was just finished in the shell.
Here the whole project is much more advanced.
It is a very elegant and very generous plant which is maintained accordingly. Beautiful Proshop, a pool area, a great clubhouse and a Dninghouse is being built.
Everything is there what the golfer desires.
The course architect has worked for Arthur Hills for over 20 years, building a generous course here too - with many lakes of decent dimensions.
It is one of the drivers loves, the fairways are wide, sometimes very wide and the bunkers lurking far out. In addition, they have marginal contours. He plays easily and easily when the driver is working properly.
The greens on the first nine have huge proportions in part, on the second nine there are on the short holes that are almost miniature issues and are also heavily defended.
Beautiful and generous plantings in the tea area and along the fairways.
On the Green, the casual game comes to an end, they are very finely leveled, also neatly fast. Here we had to work a lot.
As always with new facilities, there is a lot of building activity going on, a lot is being built, a lot is done and then there are still lots of free plots.
Four solid stars, for the fifth missing that certain something.
There seems to be a bigger rivalry with Lakewood National. When I wanted to ask a question, I was harshly interrupted, saying that they had nothing to do with it.
No customer-friendly tone - the opposite - yes, already arrogant!
