I don't want this to be too harsh but I was unimpressed with this course. In all fairness the north coast had a considerable amount of rain during the time I played and the course had turned into a swamp. I would have expected better drainage. In spite of the rain the greens remained very slick and many putts scooted right past the cup. (this of course may have had less to do with the greens and more to do with my abilities or lack their of)
The pricing structure was complicated, a greens and cart fee paid at the pro shop, a fee paid to the head caddy and a fee paid to the caddy. IMHO one fee at the pro shop and them distributing the funds accordingly would have made much more sense. The cost seemed out of line with the quality of the course.
On a brighter note the caddy was exceptional. His course knowledge, recommendations for club selection and putting tips were right on every time. (if only I would have given his advice its due earlier in the round) He should also be commended for sloshing around in ankle deep water to retrieve my ball every time I missed a fairway. (I was amazed at his ability to actually find some of them)
I would also like to thank my golfing hosts, Grahame and Jim (bushbaby and oldislandman) for making this a very enjoyable trip. I am very much looking forward to my return on the 4th.
