Yes, caddies are mandatory here, and we strongly advise embracing their local knowledge - they're invaluable for reading the greens and navigating the course's nuances. The practice facilities are decent, with a driving range and putting green, but we suggest arriving early to get a good warm-up in before your tee time.
