It is an almost
flat course and adopts 2-greens-per-hole system, left and the right greens. The
left greens I played this time are longer. You can get good a good score for the
front 9 as it is 3400 yards long per 36 but the back 9 is tough as it is a par
36 over 3700 yards long. Especially, you might have trouble on 3 very long par
4s over 470 yards on the back 9. You need to play well on those 3 holes in order
to have a good score. Most greens slope from the back to the front. With respect
to the long 7271 yardage, the course is not that difficult because the fairways
are generous except for the tight 4th hole and hazards around the greens doesn’t
come into play so much. |

A slightly downhill par 3 over a
lake. Water comes into play in front of the green as well as on the left of it.
The right club selection is important taking into consideration the prevailing
wind. |

|
| A dogleg to the left, a demanding hole. The tee shot
should be accurate as the fairway is tight with a river on the right and trees
on the left. The second shot is over the river to a highly sloped wide green.

A dogleg to the right. The right
edge of the fairway is also an OB line and the fairway is narrow, so left to right
players should be careful. The second shot is gently uphill to the green that
slants a lot from the back to the front. |

A par 3 over a lake. To play
from the back tee, you need not only to clear the water but also a few tall palm
trees. A precise shot is required as water is everywhere around the green. |
|
| |
| A very long, “S” shaped par 4.
It is a dogleg to the left first followed by a dogleg to the left around a lake.
Considering the uphill second shot, it is worth a par 5, so a par is a great score
on this hole. |
