Our Course

The par-72 layout stretches over 7,300 yards from the back tees, featuring rolling terrain, expansive and intricate green complexes, and immaculate conditioning throughout. Our iconic hawthorn trees will leave you in no doubt as to the prevailing wind, which travels uninterrupted across the Atlantic ensuring a memorable challenge for golfers of all levels.
