Played Ombria yesterday under “soft opening” conditions. It’s an interesting course. The front nine starts off with two par 5’s and has a stream crisscrossing the fairways in places, so no gentle start to your round. The stream also protects the approach to the greens on a couple of holes as well.Standout hole for me would be the 8th, which has a lake running the length of the fairway. The back nine is water free and fairly open and finishes with a short dog leg left par 4. The tee boxes are interesting and have a numbering system ie 53 rather than the usual red, yellow and white makers. If I remember correctly the numbers relate to the total yard, sorry metres of the course. As this was a soft opening, there were no food and beverages available, however from what we could see, the facilities look to be of a very high standard. The staff were excellent very friendly, especially the starter who gave us an overview of the course etc and we were made to feel very welcome. The pro shop girls were very helpful and “checking in” etc was a breeze. At the time we played, the course had not been mapped, so GPS watches will not find the yardages/metres and layout of the course, so laser finder would be highly recommended and tbh it could do with a few more signs/marker posts as I found it difficult at times to workout where to go! I would say a buggy is also essential as there are some long walks between greens and tees especially 3~4 and 9~10. I played solo with a buggy and had a round time of 2hours 15mins and whilst there were other players on the course we were hard pushed to see anyone else. Would play again once course is mapped and clubhouse is fully operational.
