There are numerous golf courses in the area – most of which are open to visitors. The following details are meant to give you some insight on the type of courses available and costs (Summer 2003). All these courses and many more are within minutes of the apartment, but being non-golfers we cannot give any recommendations, we just hope this information is useful.

The shorter South Course requires precision - rewarding accuracy rather than distance. The North Course is a championship layout characterised by wide fairways and varying tee positions where a long drive is a distinct advantage. The views from the 16th are spectacular. The course has that tropical Southern States of America feel, with large bunkers, rolling fairways and guarded greens.
Facilities include a driving range into a lake, 6 hole par 3 course, swimming pool, tennis and squash courts.
