Extending to just over 5,100 metres, the course plays to a par of 70, with three par threes on the front nine and only one par five on the back nine. Holes are laid out as two returning nines, with water coming into play at the 13th and 15th, where a meandering stream runs along the right side of both these par fours.
Highlight holes include the first (and shortest) of the par threes at the 107-metre 2nd; the long par five 8th (which bends slowly left off the tee then right to the green); the par three 11th (featuring an unusual cluster of five small bunkers behind the green); and the par five 17th (rated stroke index 2) which doglegs 45 degrees right to a bunkerless green.
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
