Der Empfang ist freundlich bestimmt. Toiletten sind gut. Leider ist die Driving Range 30 Minuten fußläufig. Wenn man an diesem Tag kein Buggy hat (wir wollten gehen) könnte man alles wieder ins Auto packen und hinfahren – haben wir gelassen. Putting Bereich 2 x vorhanden, ist OK. Am Tee 1 ist kein Starter, wir können selbst starten. Wir haben mit 2 deutschen „Halbauswanderern“ gespielt, die dort Mitglied sind. Das war hilfreich, denn der Platz ist unübersichtlich, man sieht sehr selten die Fahnen, muss blind über Hügel spielen. Der Platz ist zwar schön gelegen, aber doch sehr hügelig; sehr anstrengend zu gehen. Die Abschläge sind recht gut mit Gras; die Fairways zwar grün, aber unregelmäßig, tiefe Klee-inseln wechseln mit Glatzen ab, viele gelbe Stellen, trotz guter Feuchtigkeit. Die Bunker sind sehr zahlreich immer in Schlagdistanz – manche Green haben 6 Bunker rundherum. Weiters immer Bäume mitten im Fairway. Man steht sehr oft nicht nur rauf und runter schief, sondern auch links- rechts. Dazu kommen noch Greens, die sehr onduliert sind, manche sehr groß (40m) – kaum Rasenkanten, sodass der Ball oft von den Greens, die steil bergabgehen wieder auf die Fairways rollen. Macht daher keinen Spaß auf diesen Greens. Min 3 Putt. Einige Bahnen sind interessant, schwer, aber dann als Draufgabe solche Greens – nein Danke. Eine vergnügliche Runde sieht anders aus. Ralf und Brigitte haben uns den Weg gewiesen, sonst hätten wir wohl völlig die Lust verloren. Wetter sonnig bis bewölkt bei 18 Grad.
