The South Lakes Golf Club comprises 18 holes of Santa Anna Couch fairways and Poa Annua/Bent Grass greens. The design of the course provides golfers of all ages, with differing skill levels, the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely round of golf. The relatively flat terrain makes the course a pleasant walk while listening to the waves crashing on the beach in the background.
