Reviewed By 345arthurt - London, United Kingdom

Booked a 3-hour lesson at the shangri-la Dalit Bay course for my wife’s birthday, and she loved it so much we booked an additional couples session a few days later. Greg was absolutely brilliant with us as complete novices, and really tailored his teaching and advice to each individual. He was very encouraging, introducing us to more aspects of the game and even getting us onto the course for a few successful holes. The course itself is beautiful and very well maintained. A lovely way to enjoy Kota Kinabalu!
