Sixteen-year-old student Rowan Warren remarked;
"A lifetime experience I will never forget!
Pristine practice facilities and the golf course was in superb condition, a real test. All of the staff were very helpful and courteous."
"This was my second visit to Desert Springs and it delivered another sensational week. First class practice facilities and a golf course in perfect condition, the food was awesome and all of the staff were extremely friendly and attentive."
"This was my first visit to Desert Springs. Superb practice facilities!"
Those are the verdicts of 17-year-old Sm Wood and 16-year-old Josh Roberts, two full time students from the Hartpury College Golf Academy.
The group were accommodated in some of the privately owned apartments normally reserved for holidays and short breaks at Desert Springs and the resortąs executive chef was on hand to cater for the special dietary requirements of individual players dining in the 'El Torrente' Restaurant each evening. During their time at the resort the players utilised the excellent practice facilities at the Golf Academy and played the Indiana golf course.
