It’s designed for those who want a relaxed yet upscale golfing experience, with the convenience of transportation and included amenities. While it might not be the cheapest or most exclusive option out there, it offers an accessible way to enjoy a renowned course without the hassle of planning every detail yourself.

Plus, the division into three uniquely themed nine-hole layouts—Dunes, Jungle, and Lakes—means you get some variety, making each round a little different.

What to Expect During Your Round
Once you’re picked up at your hotel—thanks to the included transportation—you’ll head straight to the course where your golf clubs (TaylorMade, SIM2, or Stealth) await. The fact that clubs are included means you don’t need to worry about lugging your own gear or renting elsewhere. You’ll also be able to choose between the different club types, which is a nice perk for those who want to test out newer equipment.
The 18-hole round generally lasts about four hours, giving you enough time to enjoy your game without feeling rushed. The course layout encourages a leisurely pace, and the diversity of the three nine-hole sections keeps the game engaging. Whether you’re tackling the Dunes’ challenging terrain, the lush Jungle section, or the tranquil Lakes, each offers a chance to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
Food & Beverages: A Nice Touch
Included in the package is food and beverages, which is often overlooked but quite appreciated. After a few holes or during a break, you can enjoy a snack or drink without leaving the course. This small detail elevates the experience, especially after a morning or afternoon in the sun.
The Balance of Cost and Experience
At $310 per person, this tour isn’t the most budget-friendly option, but it’s in line with what you might expect for a package that includes transportation, clubs, and food. When you consider the convenience factor and the quality of the course, it can be a worthwhile investment for golf lovers. Keep in mind, gratuities aren’t included, so tipping your caddy or the staff is something to prepare for if you feel the service warrants it.
