Course signage could be much improved. Given the rain the greens were in fantastic condition and incredibly quick

Very enjoyable as always and the course was in very good condition with the exception of the greens. I think they had just been fertilised and there was a not a true run on the greens

A very interesting course and particularly the holes along the beach are amazing (despite the wind that blow constantly).
The layout is nice, the course is beatiful and playable by everyone, although more visible indications about the sequence of the holes would greatly help new players on the course and, above all, the speed of the game.
The staff is kind and professional, demonstrating the habit of dealing with foreign players.
Probably the only flaw is given by a rather poor proshop, especially of sports equipment (putters, set of irons, woods and so forth) while abounding in clothing.

Em geral o campo estava ótimo e o atendimento também, o ponto negativo foi que só conseguimos ter os buggys 10 min antes do nosso tee-time o que causou algum stress que seria desnecessário. -**- In general, the course was great and so was the service. The downside was that we could only get the buggies 10 minutes before our tee-time, which caused some unnecessary stress.

A stunning beautiful golf course in excellent condition, holes 13,14 &15 by the Atlantic coast were magnificent. Buggies were very basic with no GPS navigation,ice cooler or divot mix. They admitted lacking inventory of buggies as we had to wait 5 minutes before our tee time for them to come in from morning round to be used.
The restaurant food was outstanding with very friendly staff and great patio views.
Unfortunately there seems to be a serious management issue with slow pace of play. We waited for the group ahead to tee off on the front 9 holes as they had delays. To make it worse the pro shop put out a foursome to start on hole 10 as it was getting later in the day instead of starting on hole #1 . The foursome two groups ahead of us phoned the pro shop for the manager as there was now three foursomes waiting at the hole #11 tee blocks.They sent a martial/ranger out to investigate who was previously tending the bar buggy and he started getting mouthy and disrespectful to the golfers.I thought a brawl was going to break out and the two foursomes walked off the course back to the clubhouse with the martial. The group behind us quit after 9 holes as well as we never saw them again,it was a real fiasco. Seems like management is more concerned with the extra money squeezing in more players than a golfer having a pleasant experience. It was now great that the course opened up to us but we still caught up with the group of walkers put in three groups ahead of us by the 16th hole. With a 2:50 tee time we finished up at 8:30 p.m. The group ahead said their round was 6 1/2 hours the previous day.
As a golf course owner I feel they have to extend the tee times to a 15 minute spread for all the walkers or make buggies mandatory for that course to keep pace of play flowing as it should.

Reasonable test of golf, with some fantastic views, however no Marshalls on the course so pace of play very slow, not helped by fitting in another 4ball in our time slot!

Impossible to play all the courses, only 9 holes, to slow players !!!

Fairways a bit patchy but otherwise in good condition.
Pace of play on Front 9 was incredibly slow (~2h45). It seems they had people start on 10 earlier and didn‘t manage the gap properly (i.e. no marshall on course)
Back 9 pace was ok because a couple of fights in front of us finished their round on 9.

Teetime was changed to 20 minutes later without any notice. We were on time at TEE nr 1 , 5 min after our teetime caddymaster told us that we needed to start at hole 10, no one told us that. We reserved 3 buggies, we had to wait to pick them up 10 min before departure. Then the caddymaster told us to get keys at reception. Not the relaxed manner to start your 18 holes. Terrible . Course it self was as usual very good.
