Teetime was meant to be 12:24 but only got off about 13:24 as they had a competition on. The course was then slow on every hole and took 5.5 hours to get round that the transfer was waiting as soon as we got off. Poor experience

A great golf course again however people were walking off the course after first 9 holes took 3 hours. They seem to be being a little greedy trying to squeeze in tee times every 8 minutes rather than 10 and it makes a huge difference in pace of play compared with the other courses we played. Good course though, worth a visit.

Course was in excellent condition, only 1 poor green, they have created 2 new holes which once bedded in will definitely add to the course in terms of making it better However pace of play was a disgrace, 5 Hours 40 for the round is not good enough, we only had 20 mins in clubhouse before pick up at 18.30.

I have played this course five times over the last fifteen years and always been happy with condition but will not return again. The course was not well kept at all, there was three temporary greens in place and all twelve of our party criticised the playing conditions. It says everything when you arrive 75 minutes before our tee time and advised we can go out when we are ready as no one else was booked to play.

They had changed two holes from when I had played it last, 9th and 10th. The 9th is now a par 5 and the 10th a par 4, however the course has not been remapped and therefore the GPS on my phone app did not give shape or distance to the greens making it a little more interesting to play? Overall a good test of golf and thoroughly enjoyable.

Santa Maria, is okay but very much lower on the quality scale to a lot of other courses. It served us okay on our last day and was chosen as much for location than anything else, being closer to the airport.
