| The course is laid on a flat terrain with well-placed water
hazards and bunkers. It offers a challenging layout and palms and lakes
separate each hole. One of features is that tremendously long bunkers are
often used. Greens are relatively small compared to Jack Nicklaus general
designs, so accurate approach shots are required on this course. |

A par 3 over water. The green is long in depth and guarded by the water
along the left side. A bunker behind the green also come into play as it
catch any balls hitting too cautiously trying to avoid the water. |

|
A beautiful dogleg to the left. Water is all along the left side of the
fairway and extends into the front side of the green.. |
| |
|
|
|
A slight dogleg to the right with water on the right. The tee shot offers
a double fairway strategy separated by bunkers. Driving to the upper left-hand
fairway will offer you the best view into the well-bunkered green. |

|
|
A short par 3 over a lake. The green is long in depth and protected by the
water along the right side. |
| |
|
|
| A superbly designed dogleg to the right. A wide creek splits
his hole into a double fairway strategy. The left fairway is safer and the
third shot is over the creek. Long hitters can hit the green in 2 by driving
to the right fairway but the green is guarded by the creek on the front,
so one must overcome a greater risk to hit the green in 2. |

やや右ドッグレッグ。右コーナーの深いバンカー越えには２３０ヤードのキャリーが必要。このルートがベストでセカンドショットではグリーンを狙いやすくなる。ティショットをフェアウェイ左サイドに打つと、セカンドはグリーンの左サイドをガードしている大きなバンカー越えになり、このルートはより難易度が増す。 |
| |
|
|
| A slight dogleg to the left. The landing area off the tee is
narrow with a lake on the left. So an accurate tee shot is needed. The second
shot is over the lake and a bunker guarding the front side of the green. |

|
A short dogleg to the left. The fairway is wide and the tee shot is easy
but the second shot is difficult as it hit to the relatively small island
green. |
