DESCRIPTION
Golf du Chateau is a resort course and needed foremost to be playable and an enjoyable experience for recreational golfers. Wide fairways and generous green sizes characterize the course but at the same time it provides fair challenge for the better golfer with plenty of risk and reward. The course is built just above sea level and the high water table was incorporated into beautiful water features. Indigenous grasses were specifically chosen for the landscaped areas to match the surrounding fields of waving sugar cane.
