Ile Aux Cerfs Golf Club, Trou d'eau Douce

I’m a beginner, so naturally I found this course challenging but not hopeless. I appreciate the optimism of giving me three balls with the rental equipment but I bought another 24, found five and still needed to borrow one (Nigel if you read this, contact me, I didn’t find you to return your ball). Tough course, some long drives where if you don’t land them perfectly, your ball’s gone. Even a lot more experienced golfers gave up on a few of those. Staff was moderately friendly, the assortment of souvenirs is not great, prices high but you’re paying for a well-maintained course, the view, parking and boat are included. We were rushed a lot by the groundskeeper, even though we kept a steady pace within regulations, were only held up by a larger group in front of us, so that’s a downside. Note: it doesn’t say on the website how to get there. The normal ferry only starts operating at 9 am but for golfers, it starts as early as 6:40. Took me a while to find that out. Had a great time, will do it again if I can and bring more balls. Glad I did it, not sad I’ll try another course next

Challenging course but you've gotta play it. The full experience with the taxi, ferry to the island and the picturesque course is fantastic On reflection and after returning home I have to say the course has lost some of it's appeal. It's all about the money, buy a water flask, buy water, no towels, water not working on two visits, no coffee because no water, cart paths in pieces and dangerous. A real shame I have mention this.
