Fun factor

As already described, the views are fantastic and, thanks to the "unusual" design, quite fun to play. However, if you reduce the course to just golf, three stars would be appropriate, as the holes are quite short, the condition is satisfactory, and the greens aren't too fast. There's no clubhouse or changing facilities either.

A must for the adventurous golfer

We'd read such absurd descriptions of this course, we had to go. The website, like the Birdie Book, is absolutely charmingly designed and tempts you to make a detour here.

On-site, you'll find the cutest, sweetest golf course I've ever seen. Between the sea and the road lies a tiny parking lot that can barely accommodate a dozen cars. Across the road is a small building – the clubhouse. There's no catering, but there are snacks, a restroom, a tiny pro shop, and trolleys, which we deliberately didn't use here. Carrying is more convenient.

Then it's on to the first hole, which is a slanting climb to a flag. The distance is easy to laugh at, but with a bit of wind, we weren't able to get close to the green once in two rounds. The second hole awaits the men with a 170-meter carry shot from a hill to a plateau, topped off by a tiny, hidden green. I won't describe all nine holes, but it's simply fun. Plenty of challenges, plus breathtaking views of the nearby bay and the sea. And we even saw deer on the fairway.

At 35 pounds for 2 x 9 holes, it's absolutely fair and even though professional golf will never be played here, it's a course we'll never forget.

Playing value

It is only a 9-hole course with relatively slow greens, few bunkers and no water, but the view is beautiful (actually five stars). The condition is good and there is relatively little going on. The place is short.

Great place despite "critical" green areas

We played an 18 hole round in April 2019. Bright sunshine and really strong wind, which has blown me some times the ball from the tea.
The location right on the water is a dream. Fantastic views! The course was a challenge for us, not only because of the wind. The greens must be played partly blind and their situation can only be guessed without knowledge of space. We already knew each other better on the second lap, but we still had some difficulties.
The place was despite its rudimentary equipment in very good condition. If you are in the area, you should definitely have played it once.

Place with great views but dangerous

As with many links courses The location is spectacular and the place clean. Only there are many blind shots that you did not expect. Green 2 almost not to be found in a hollow on the hill and not visible. Green 4 Green is located next to the 6 alluded blind over the hill - if someone stands on Green 4 Nobody knows. Also applies to Green. 8 and 9

Mixed Feelings

The area is gorgeous, spectacular sea and white beaches. The layout is a bit weird, a few holes have narrow green inputs and require strategy, some are just straight and flat. I was here in late August, the greens were a little disaster, the rest of the court ok. The infrastructure is very basic. The weather was rather bad, this one has charged me spontaneously redeem reduced green fee.
