Tight fairways and greens but such a wonderful setting. From tee to Green, play needs accuracy, especially when the bale out areas are limited and the rough takes a lot of getting used to, (the rough is a matting plant rather than grass, ball sits down and judging how it will fly out is guesswork) Carts are mandatory during high season and be aware that golfers are charged per person, not per cart, so double price for two golfers sharing 1 cart. Transfers are well organised with taxi to the jetty and then boat to island where you are met and clubs transferred to caddymaster. Clubs can be left at the course if you are playing more rounds for no charge. Caddymaster will set up playing partners if you are in your own. Clubhouse provides a range of food and drink but always notify them if you are all inclusive or you'll be charged. Nice selection of salads and club food. Timings of transport meant that from pick up at hotel (07.00 hrs) to drop off back (13.45) was nearly 7 hours. PS. Bring lots of balls. Prices in the shop are high.
