We highly recommend visiting between late spring and early autumn-May through September-for the most enjoyable conditions.

The par-3 17th really stands out; it's a beautiful, challenging hole where accuracy is everything. You'll need to carry water to a well-guarded green, and it often plays into the wind, making club selection crucial for a good finish. Don't let its beauty distract you from the task at hand.
