Anyone ever play it? I am going to Israel in October. I could fit it in if I work at it.

It's on my list of places to see for the last volume of The Confidential Guide, but I don't know anyone who has been there apart from Tim Liddy, who I think did the work for Mr Dye there.

I played it several years ago.


It's an eminently Pete Dye design (yes some might find that an oxymoron) set less than a mile from the Mediterranean Sea and even nearer to the Caesarea National Park.*


There's very moderate, yet rolling-like elevation throughout the course. Greens are a little on the small side, yet replete with interesting undulations. The number of well-placed small pot and teardrop bunkers are instant examples of Pete & Alice's brand and provide just enough strategic value to pique the player's navigation.


Caesarea is a semi-private resort course, well-maintained and thus the best golf venue in the country. It's not necessarily a destination course for the first-time visitor to Israel.


* It is a must visit to the nearby Caesarea National Park. It's an impressive archaeological site. There are magnificent ruins from the King Herod the Great 20 BC era replete with early examples (mostly intact) of Roman engineering with a beautiful amphitheater, fortress, hippodrome, aqueduct and tombs all at the foot of the sea.





The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking."--John Kenneth Galbraith
