 The course features wider-than-average fairways allowing players plenty of room for errors while creating numerous strategic options.

However the boldly contoured greens are sure to be the most talked about feature of the course, with many of the greens being broken into different sections by strong elevation changes it makes it crucial for golfers to play to the correct section of the green in order to make the easiest putt possible.

The greens also feature numerous and hard to spot contours and rolls further complicating putting.

The way the course has been designed with the layout of the bunkers creates a dramatic look that really sets the course apart from all the other courses.

Many of the large bunkers are extremley deep with sand flashing in places up to three meters.

The edges of the bunkers are cut in a jagged manner further adding to their distinctiveness while accenting the more rugged nature of the course.
