点评:It was a perennial dream to play this course because it is praised. Both fairways and greens were in great condition, and it was nice to play on a completely empty field. On foot, the tour took only 2.5 hours. The aerial photos of the marketing are fantastic, but the views on the ground are less dramatic, except for a few greens and tees built on the edge of the cliff. As a whole, the field is very ordinary, of course a good one.
The biggest criticism is directed at the absurd pricing: 950NZD / 470€. Locals get a green fee for 450NZD / 222€, and even that can't be considered particularly affordable. The reason for the predatory pricing is probably the same as the top courses in Ireland and Scotland: The wealthy Americans who don't care if the green fee costs a hundred or a thousand euros! Let's take whatever is available. Unfortunately, this puts many courses beyond the reach of ordinary wage earners and retirees, which is probably not the basic purpose of golf.
翻译:能在这个球场打球一直是我的梦想,因为它备受赞誉。球道和果岭都维护得非常好,而且球场空旷,感觉很棒。步行游览全程仅需2.5小时。宣传资料上的航拍照片令人惊艳,但实地景色却远没有那么震撼,除了少数几个建在悬崖边的果岭和发球台。总的来说,球场很普通,当然,也算得上是一个不错的球场。
最大的诟病在于其离谱的价格:950新西兰元/470欧元。当地居民的果岭费是450新西兰元/222欧元,即便如此也算不上特别实惠。这种高价策略的原因可能和爱尔兰、苏格兰的顶级球场一样:那些富有的美国人根本不在乎果岭费是一百欧元还是一千欧元!只要能打到就行。不幸的是,这使得许多球场超出了普通工薪阶层和退休人员的承受范围,而这或许并非高尔夫运动的初衷。
