You can rent clubs for a small amount of money and there is a course with 9 Par 4, 7 Par 3 and 2 Par 5 holes at your disposal.

You are welcome every day, but on Saturday afternoons they play competition matches. Then you can see the best golfers in the ountry in action or enjoy the facilities of the clubhouse.
