This private Golf Club, established in 1967, boasts an 18-hole Championship Course with fully irrigated fairways and greens, numerous lakes, and beautifully landscaped grounds.   A significant feature of the Club’s location is the course being surrounded by housing – members can safely travel to and fro, thus adopting the Clubhouse as their ‘local’.
