The course is a creation of Robert Trent Jones Jr. who replicates world
famous 18 holes such as Pine Valley, St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Sotogrande、Pebble
Beach, Winged Foot and Oakmont on rolling terrain. Its layout is excellent
as well because the designer has used a lot of imagination and ability to
give each hole its own identity.. Palm trees surrounding the course are
beautiful and the course uses mountains as a backdrop, which gives you superb
views. |

(Hole #1 Spanish Bay)
An almost straight par 5, reachable in 2 for long hitters. Various bunkers
line the fairway, which makes the landing area off the tee and second shots
narrow. The green is elevated, narrow and protected by 2 bunkers on the
left and water on the right. |

(Hole # 16 Shinne Cock Hills)
A straight, relatively long par 5. Bunkers cross around the second shot
landing area, so on the second shot you must make a decision to hit over
them or lay up in front of them. The green is shallow with bunkers on the
front and at the rear, so an accurate third shot is required. |

(Hole # 15 Cypress Point)
A par 3 onto an elevated green. Bunkers are placed on the left of the
green. The right side of the green borders a forest, so a slice should
be avoided. The view of palm trees behind the tee seen from the green
is superb.

(Hole #10 Pebble Beach)
A dogleg to the right, a difficult hole. A fairway bunker on the left comes
into play and watch out for a ravine running along the right. The ravine
runs across half of the fairway, so the longer the tee shot is , the narrower
the landing area is. Bunkers on both sides and the hazard on the right come
into play on the second shot. The center of the green is its highest point
and it slopes to the back. |

(Hole # 12 Sotogrande )
An almost straight, beautiful par 5. A lake spreads from 280 yards off
the tee to the right side of the green. Bunkers on the center of the fairway
come into play on the second shot.

|
|
(Hole #11 Augusta National)
A slight dogleg to the right, a par 4. The tee shot is generous but the
second shot is demanding. The green is deep with a pond facing its left
side, a bunker on the right and a mound at the right rear. |
| |
|
|
|
( Hole # 12 August National)
A Par 3 over water. The green is wide and not deep, so you need to use
the right club to reach the green and have it bite. A bunker on the front
center and 2 bunkers at the rear are in play.
|
| |
|
|
(Hole # 6 Seminole)
A straight, short par 4. The green is steeply elevated. A series of deep
bunkers stretching diagonally guard the front side of the green
|
| |
|
|
|
(Hole #10 Winged Foot)
A par 3 with a green surrounded by bunkers. The green is elevated.
