The course is characterized by its large, undulating greens, wide fairways, and strategic bunkering. Water comes into play on several holes, adding to the challenge and requiring thoughtful shot selection. The natural beauty of the area is a constant companion throughout the round, with the meticulously maintained course offering a tranquil yet challenging golfing experience.
