Course Layout
The course is over 7,000 meters long, making it one of the longest in the country. It has a parkland layout that goes through native plants and features narrow fairways, well-placed bunkers, and several water hazards. It’s important to be accurate when you tee off. For example, on the par-4 8th hole, you need to hit a precise drive and make an accurate approach to reach the narrow green.
Standout Holes
One of the most iconic holes is the par-5 9th. This signature hole requires a well-placed drive and a bold second shot over water to reach the green in two. The finishing hole, a par-4 with a narrow landing area and water guarding the green, is equally memorable. Each hole offers a unique test of strategy and skill.
