The Course

The challenging nine-hole 5858 yards par 70 course was designed to test and stretch the skills of the experienced golfers, yet not intimidate newcomers to the game. Summerhill was designed by Mr Bob Sandow, known for having designed over 130 courses worldwide. The course was built to an exceptional standard and also to U.S.G.A. specifications with the same construction of tees and greens as used on the American professional circuit.

Under new ownership in October 2000 the course has undergone improvements to the greens and drainage and new bunk sand and water hazards. Also, on completion in the summer of 2002 is a 3 hole par 3 pitch and putt course , ideal for juniors, beginners or just for those golfers needing a little practice.
