Three holes are especially worth noting:

Hole 4: A challenging par 4 measuring up to 469 yards from the Gold tees and ranked as the course’s No. 1 handicap hole. Accuracy and distance off the tee are important here.
Hole 13: A scenic par 3 measuring 189 yards from the Gold tees. The hole is known for its impressive sea views and can become more demanding when wind conditions change.
Hole 15: A long par 4 measuring 472 yards from the Gold tees and ranked No. 2 by handicap, making it another serious test for stronger golfers.

The course’s combination of sea breeze, undulating terrain and strategically positioned hazards means that club selection can change considerably depending on weather conditions. Hole 13, in particular, is regarded as one of the signature visual points of the course.
