This is an awe inspiring course of 7.029 yards with cliffs and ravines, tight fairways and large bunkers. The course is floodlit for night games. The front nine overlook the ocean from high ground, while back nine reach to the sea. The signature 15th hole takes you right along the beach, hugging the coastline and challenging you with sprawling bunkers. Pleased to extend some details of the difficult pars:
11th Hole Par 4: One of the tougher par fours on the course measured at 402 meters and doglegs from left to right. There are fairway bunkers to be concerned about which makes for any easier tee shot. You should favor the left side of this fairway, as this will open your approach shot which will leave you approx 150 meters to the green. From the fairway the hole drops dramatically straight down towards the green, which, like the tenth hole, will make club selection difficult. Beware of the very deep bunker short of the green. The water on the right side of this green does not really come into play unless you have hit really wayward shot. Again it pays to be playing from the fairway that will leave you with a decision to make on which club to select to the green. If possible try to land the ball below the hole on this green as anything above the hole will result in a fast and tricky putt. A par on this hole is something to be proud of.
Signature 15th Hole Par 5: Playing directly along the beach from the tee all the way to the green. Measured at 502 meters this par 5 will take three good shots to reach. A fairly open tee shot, although this should not be taken for granted, as it is important to find the fairway to allow for an easier second shot. From the fairway you have the option of playing for the position with a long iron or trying to attack with a wood. Be careful and avoid the bunkers awaiting any shot straying to the right. Your third shot's difficulty depends on the hole location, as any left side pin position will make for a tricky approach as a large bunker waits for anything coming short. Bunkers also sit behind this green so ditance control from the fairway is very important. Take the time to enjoy the sights this hole has to offer, with the sea to your left and the hotel in the same distance behind the green it makes for some beautiful camera shots.
17th Hole Par 4: You are now faced with two very demanding finishing holes. The 17th is a tough dog-leg par 4 measured at 397 meters and will take two great shots to reach this green in regulation. From the tee you are elevated looking down to a narrow landing area. A bunker along the left of the fairway stops your ball from finding the large marsh wetland. Although finishing in the bunker will leave you with a decision to make as you will need to carry the ball uphill from the bunker all the way to the green. Otherwise if you have a bad lie you may rather pitch the ball back to the fairway. If from the tee you choose to play safe to the right of the fairway you will be faced with a long shot to the green. From the fairway it's all uphill to the target, which makes club selection difficult. Anything long hit and left of this green will find trouble. A deep, deep bunker sits at the front of the green catching any shots coming up short. If you make a par on this hole you will be the envy of your playing partners.
