"Whilst Melonareswas in excellent condition I was concerned about the intrusive nature of the course redesign on the back 9 in order to accommodate an extensive building programme for the new hotel. Several holes were compromised. I did ask after my round if any plans were available, but no. Over the next couple of years the changes will be huge and I will be very cautious about future bookings for the green fees would need to reflect the detrimental impact of building works to the back nine holes. A great shame. All staff most helpful." - EarlsdonAl

"Overall, a 1st class experience. Greens in superb condition, a reasonable pace - much better than last year. Some terrific sea view holes on the back 9. A good pace for 4-ball holiday golf, just under 4 hours. My only reservation is that the extensive land development on the back 9 (hotel & apartments?) may detract from both the challenge and aesthetics of the course. Buggy recommended (I never use one at home) in order to keep up with the general pace of play as there are a few lengthy walks from green to next tee." - AlanS

"Excellent condition on greens and fairways. Very welcoming personal."
