My apologies having been such a long time since I last wrote a post, I have no excuse really. None of the usual “Exams” “Work was hectic” or any crap like that, just totally lazy.

But anyway, seeing as I am up extremely early with time to burn thanks to my new girlfriend I shall use the time constructively by doing this highly anticipated review (ok just kidding, but here it is, seriously).

Before playing at KD I had heard very good things so in my mind a picture of beauty and scenery was painted. On arrival at KD you are greeted by the friendly cats that are looked after by the club halfway house.

Anyway on to the golf, we started on the 1st tee, the course is very ‘what you see is what you get’ with very little trickery around the place. As I was advised on the first tee, I will not go a round at KD without visiting the trees, this was not an incorrect statement at all, as I visited them regularly :)

I’m not sure if they are repairing the course at that moment but some patches on the fairway were very bad, but luckily were marked as GUR, which is not always advantageous sometimes having to go well back to find a spot to place! That said, the fairway is always better than the rough at KD as you can get some very interesting lies in the thick, wet, juicy rough around the course.

There is little water at KD which is good for the water-phobes out there, so fewer balls than usual will suffice for your round. In addition, the course isn’t very long as I managed to not use my driver (don’t ask) the entire round, with no difficulty reaching any of the par 4′s. My only ‘issue’ with King David was the distance markers, if I was not playing with members from the club it would have been a complete puzzle as the 150m markers are measured of a palm tree on each fairway which is highly confusing for a first timer.

I would definately recommend King David to friends as it is close by and not too expensive to play but it is by no means a perfect golf course (is there such a thing?).

I give it a 6/10
