The fairways and tee boxes feature lush Zoysia Matrella, while the greens luxuriate under Bermuda Tifdwarf’s care. The Hill Course, an 18-hole par 72 championship layout, measures 6,385 metres.

It is a formidable skill test, even for the most accomplished players.

Conversely, the Lake Course, comprising 18 holes and a par 72, stretches over 6,163 metres.
