This is a wonderful course not only for the golf purist looking to plot their ‘risk reward’ holes or the plan of attack to the devilishly guarded greens, but also for those looking to loosen their shoulders and have a nice stroll taking in the stunning wildlife and scenery. The course consists of 15 Dams, 75 Bunkers and the average size of the Greens is 700m2. There are 3 permanent ablution facilities as well as a driving range. For those much like the GRV Global team who are never likely to feature on the winners list (though watch out for our conference producer Ian) there is much to enjoy. Monitor lizards tend to lounge near the water’s edge and the 400 or so different species of birds and the occasional elephant sighting might slow you down a little, but avoid the warthogs!
