There are 27 holes in total,
three 9 hole courses called Air Force, Navy and Army because the military owns
it, are developed on flat terrain with a lot of water hazards. It was formerly
named the Safra Resort. The condition of the greens is good but they are slow.
The air Force Course is the longest and the tournament course is the Air Force & Navy Course which is 6912 yards long, rated as 71.2. The air force Course
was under maintenance so I couldn’t play it. |

| An
almost straight hole. The tee shot is demanding because of the tight landing area
squeezed by OB on the right and a lake on the left. You should be careful of bunkers
on both sides of the green and OB on the right when you hit the second shot. |
