The course had seen some wear as they had just had a 4 round junior championship. Greens were in good condition although the tees were not in the best nick. Greens were slick and receptive. There was a real emphasis on getting round quickly and we were reminded several times to play a lot quicker. It did not make for a relaxed round. The sand was gritty/gravely and in total contrast to the UK. A good course but not the best.
