Highlight holes on the front nine include the 131-yard 6th, played slightly uphill to a narrow, two-tiered green with a false front, and the 203-yard 8th, where the tee shot must carry the creek that fronts the elevated green.
The same creek crosses in advance of the green on the severely right doglegging par five 14th, forcing many players to lay up short with their second shot, but the other par five on the back nine, the 574-yard 18th, offers big hitters a better birdie chance at the end of the round.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.
