| About
the Course |
The new Links course is one of the
hotel' s three championship golf courses.
It has been created out of indigenous forest and volcanic rock
and provides a different challenge to its sister, the Legend,
with a links feel, wide-open spaces and rolling terrain.
Water comes into play on 6 holes, the most memorable being N°
11 -14 which are played around an inland lake. |

Reviews |
Fabulous course, possibly superior in many aspects to the
the other Belle Mare course - The Legends. Lumps of volcanic
rock have been gathered to create a challenging and fascinating
landscape. A great use of water on the back 9 especially reminds
you that this is golf paradise. The first time you play either
course you spend half the time looking at the landscape. Well
kept greens and great rental clubs made this the most enjoyable
golf I've ever played. Also buy balls on your way round -
you can pick up 15 Callaways for about £5-£8 depending
on which greens keepers you come across. Great business, but
after being offered balls for the 7th time it did become a
bit tedious. Play is free to hotel guests and clubs cost around
£18 to hire for 18 holes.
