Golf: An awe-inspiring course. 7,029 yards. Cliffs and ravines. Tight fairways. Large bunkers. Floodlit for nighttime games. The front nine overlook the ocean from high ground, while the 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.

Hole by Hole: A great opening hole measured at 336 metres (Black Tees) is by no means the longest hole on the course, but any wayward shots can result in disaster. From the tee you are faced with bunkers both right and left of the fairway, avoid these at any cost. A shot of about 220 metres should be hit and favour the left side of the fairway, as this will open your second shot with a mid to short iron to a well-bunkered green. Beware of the deep bunker short right of the green. It will take a brave player to shoot at any right hand pin position. A par or bogey is a good way to start your round.
