It’s a good idea to contact Luisa to get latest update on the course. There are 9 holes close to the buildings which have good variety of shot shaping, some water hazards, trees and utilise nicely maintained ball golf fairways. These cannot be made permanent because the ball golf course will have priority. There are 9 holes beyond there which can be made permanent but that ground is not irrigated or routinely maintained by park staff so it’s a rougher landscape. The holes offer a good challenge and will become scenic and challenging if/when the many newly planted trees become taller. There have been problems with baskets and tee mats going missing, so this equipment might be withdrawn for safekeeping. When time, money and manpower allow, permanent robust baskets will be concreted in place. A lot of work has gone into getting the course in the ground and maintaining it. If you want courses like this to thrive it’s a good idea to give encouragement to the volunteers who maintain them and be considerate in pointing out any shortcomings.
