Spacious and Comfortable

I stayed in a Triple Room with three comfy beds and ample space for my family. The room had a nice bathtub and shower, along with a kettle and Netflix, which we appreciated. The location was convenient, and the staff were helpful during our stay.

Decent Cafe Options

Although the club cafe's food was a bit pricey for non-members, my friends and I found it to be a satisfactory dining option after our golf games. The ambience was nice and fit for a short meal break between activities.

Relaxing Pool Experience

The Olympic-sized outdoor pool was a highlight of my stay. It was perfect for serious swimmers like me and gave me the chance to unwind after a long day on the course. The overall cleanliness of the area left a great impression.

Spacious Training Venue

I conducted a training session at the Trading Post hall, which comfortably accommodated around 50 participants. The setup was excellent, and the food served during breaks was delicious. Staff assistance was available and made everything run smoothly.
