This is predominantly a flat
course despite its name. There are many holes with water hazards which require
you to take a strategic approach. Fairways are relatively narrow with several
mounds which make you hit the second shot from uneven lie. Each hole is divided
by palm trees. Those palm trees create beach resort atmosphere. Most of the par
5s are challenging. Greens are fast with drastic breaks. It used to be called
as “Natural Park Hills”. |

|
| An almost straight par 5 with green located
slightly left from the fairway. The landing areas for the tee shot as well as
for the second shot are tight. Third shot is made difficult by the pond on the
right. The green is “L” shaped with various breaks. |

| A beautiful hole over a lake with
a big island green. |

|
| A difficult left dogleg. In order
to stay on the fairway, you should aim to hit over the left side of the bunker
on the left corner. If you go to right, it might roll into the rough or even into
the woods. The front part of the green is protected by a bunker. |

| |
| A uniquely
designed par 5. The fairway is divided into two by trees at around 250 yards from
the tee. You have a choice of taking either fairway. It is short enough to reach
the green in two, as long as you go left of the fairway from the tee and take
the left fairway for the second shot. |

to play from the back tee, you need to negotiate with the caddy master convincing
him that you are qualified for the tee.
