amazing helpfulnessexcellent facilitiesconvenient lodgesinconvenient door

My friends and I just returned from a good golf break. It has been nine years since our last visit. The staff displayed amazing helpfulness. Nothing seemed too difficult for them. We found the practice facilities great. I did find the driving range door a bit inconvenient when carrying my bag.

I noticed the door to the driving range was a bit of a pain. When carrying my bag it seemed cumbersome. Better design could improve accessibility.

The rooms were very super clean and cozy! the hot water pressure was excellent too! jasmine at reception was so helpful! I really appreciated her help.

I thought the food menu was too limited. the sports bar tables were not cleaned well, and i saw cutlery dropped on the floor, and it was left there! for breakfast. The self-service food was dried out, such a shame.
