The climate is near-perfect. In addition, there is a well-stocked Pro Shop, training center, floodlit driving range and chipping greens.
Earlier this year, Australian Golfer Geoff Ogilvy, the reigning US Open champion, announced that he will be competing regularly at the Australian PGA Championship starting 2006, which is even more reason to visit the course.
