A very good course indeed. Many very good holes. The greens were in good condition, the fairways OK. If you were being picky, the first few holes on the back 9 are a bit up and down, but we liked the course a lot. We were welcomed warmly in the pro shop, but the bar restaurant was not so good. It should be played if you are anywhere near.

Played here 1 March and was very disappointed with the course condition. The fairways were mainly ok but the greens were very patchy with a few of them having GUR areas. The facilities are very basic and seem to be temporary and the quality of the buggies is poor. A buggy is essential here as it is very very hilly. The course is difficult but well laid out it just appears to need quite an investment to bring the playing surfaces and facilities up to standard.

A pretty good test, with some very good holes. Very tight around the greens, which are quickish and hard to read. Greens were in good condition, fairways pretty good. Tees were in an awful state. Unfortunately, the course is surrounded by blocks of apartments and tightly packed housing, so the outlook is very unappealing. Long distances between greens and tees mean that a buggy is essential.

Lovely place to play golf. A good layout, especially for the mid to higher handicapper. Greens very very good, and in good condition. Several very good holes, and in general an interesting course.. Fantastic clubhouse, with good food. We all voted it as a course to play again.

Golf course was total chaos competitions twice during our five days stay and two competitions on the same day one for adults and one for juveniles on the Saturday. Tee off times that didn't suit one hour to play one hole chucked it half way down the second hole and went to the pub. Busiest golf course I have ever been on probably because they tell you where you are to start ie 1st tee 10th tee or 19th tee and this was unlimited golf more like restrictive golf. This course was never quiet during our time there in February 2014 probably due to it being their high season. Average time for a round can be 6hours or more for 18 holes. The course is nice but not enjoyable to play unless you like standing and waiting on every tee. I wont ever be back on a 27 hole golf course again it just doesn't work, and if you think about it when they have three starting places how do you slot in after 9 holes.

Good course that like so many have suffered hard times. One or two fairways suffered from having salt water put on them. It's biggest problem is that it has dropped its price and now has morons parking buggies on the greens

Fabulous course. We played Flamingos GC today (February 8, 2014). For us the first time that we played here, and certainly not the last. Beautiful layout, great conditions of fairways and tees. Greens were a little slow compared to some of the other courses we played but beautiful and very Big! The course offers great views over the mountains, the sea and their own 'lake'. You'll be challenged by the narrow fairways on the front 9, and bunkers and water hazards on the back nine. We took a pull trolley and walked the course, which is ok in this season. Some holes are quite steep though (14 and 17) and the passage from the 5th green to the 6th tee is pretty hard. You'll not be disappointed

We played this course three days. It has nice natural settings. Because of the hard wind and the rocky terrain of gravel and lava stone it is important but difficult to keep your ball on the fairway. You can get a free club to save your own in case you have to play your ball from the rock or gravel. The fairways were in beautiful condition and the greens were okay. It would help if the bunkers would contain sand in stead of gravel. I would say the course is challenging 9zand very much different then the ones at home but is that not what holiday is all about? The twilight greenfee is fair considering that it starts already at 12!
