Love this club, if your game is off just look at the views and your mind will be calmed by the serenity.

Nice layout. Good greens. Great views. Judgement in the wind can be very important. Quite a short course

Amazing views and very well maintained course. A decent challenge without being unfair. Definitely demands accuracy when going for the green with many green side bunkers. Probably my favourite public course on the Peninsula.

Great view. Front nine fairway is in reasonable shape, hole 3 to 5 are along the lookout road, many cars were parked in a drivable distance, need caution for the beginners.
back nine a lot better. Bunker are in good shape, Had good score there. Green fee and driving range fee is cheap. I enjoyed the game.
