This new course has proved to be a welcome addition to the Belle Mare Plage resort. The course sits beneath the clubhouse and faces the setting sun, so the early evening views are wonderful.
The first nine holes have a more open feel to them with the second nine winding through an old deer reserve and natural undergrowth.
New grasses have brought a vivid green comparison with the indigenous volcanic rocks which have been left as a feature of the course. The fairways, while being generous, dictate how each hole should be played as a drive on the wrong side leaves a more difficult approach on many holes.
The gentle undulations of the smooth greens presents a challenge to the finest of putters. Water comes into play on 6 holes, the most noticeable being the quadrilateral of 11 - 14 which is played around an inland lake. The 18th, with it`s second shot over water provides a fitting finale to this Peter Allis designed course.
