Alternative courses are Bukit Barisan -Tuntungan (mature walking course with knowledgable caddies and flirty though not necessarily pretty umbrella girls), Graha Helvetia (female caddies as above, young trees and very hot on a sunny day), Martabe - on the way to Berastagi Highlands (slightly cooler, buggy course, some cute caddies but the course was a mess last time).
