Amazing

Very lucky to get to play at a venue such as this - from arrival to departure, you are treated like a tour pro, nothing is too much trouble.
Course is beautiful and deceivingly challenging. What looks like a straightforward par 4 is never such a thing and every green requires a good approach shot or you are in for a high score (like mine).
It's quite daunting teeing up on the 18th with the Tiger Woods WGC plaque (3 eagles and a birdie), my ball did pass his drive marker (but that was with my second)

Nice course, surprisingly challenging

Ashford first looks like an unassuming parkland course. As you progress through the round, it plays much more challenging than it looks, thanks to some clever design and well protected greens.

Beautiful Course

There are two courses at Mijas International, Los Lagos and Los Olivos.
In my opinion, Los Olivos wins by a smidgen!

Beautiful course, not sure about all the cart paths

Beautifully presented course, with some really challenging holes. Wasn’t too keen on the miles of concrete cart paths that run from tee to green on pretty much every hole. However, this is a premium course with a fleet of buggies, aiming for the corporate market, so the roadways are understandable
Whilst the concrete cart paths were not to my liking, it was a real challenge and played like a longer course due to some clever design??

Great challenge - needs maintenance

Really nice course and facilities, set in beautiful Kent countryside. However,
Too many bunkers were GUR and, most importantly, there seen
Ms to be something wrong with the greens - some weird horseshoe marks/damage/disease which send good puts left and right,

Excellent course, people and facilities

This is my home club, so I will be a bit biased, but Mid Kent is a deceiving layout, looking much easier than it plays! A beautiful parkland-style course, it is a little haven set on hte edge of busy Gravesend. At the right time of year, you can stop at the 6th Tee and pick a few cherries to keep you going!
The course is a little quirky, starting with a Par-3 and having 10-out and 8-back!
The greens are always in excellent condition and the staff and members always helpful
