| The Golf |
| The course is built inside a piece of woodlands with undulating terrain. Water doesn't play a major role but sand traps are quite nasty. Every greens are well guarded by these demons to penalise a not so "good shot". Fairways running through these woodlands and turn to seaside on #15 & #16. In general, fairways are generous except #18. Greens are not that "roller coaster" type. |

|  Good quality from tee to green. Green is soft and a bit on fast side.

A very typical Jack's design but this time fairways are not like football pitch wide. Waste bunker can only be found in #16. Like most Jack's course, bunkers play major role and well defense those greens. Blue tee measure over 6600 yards, a bit long for leisure golfers.
Mature and dense forest surrounded the course, very beautiful indeed. Due to the bad weather during my stay, the signature #16 doesnt looks so nice as it should be.
There ain'y caddie here, but carts are allow on fairways.
Well above average on all aspect. Worth to play Ace 06/07
Frankly speaking, I'm more impressed by the Empire Hotel, Highly reccommend¡IProbably one of the best in Asia.
