“Overall a very fun course with beautiful surroundings. The caddy master was very polite and helpful. Pace of play was fast. I strongly recommend this course.”
“Really nice course and we booked early morning and really got round the first 9 in about 1.5 hours. The second 9 took twice that—it was so slow. Fairways and greens great and the scenery is fabulous but unless you are in a four ball, forget the mornings.”
“Son Vida is delightful and beautiful …tight in parts and not terribly long, so great holiday golf. It was extremely well kept including the greens.”
“Truly a challenging course. Loved the round. Thank you very much for excellent maintenance.”
