Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a stunning hole with panoramic views that will test your club selection and probably steal a bit of your focus. We think it's one of the most picturesque holes on the island.

What's the best way to get to Byxelkroks Gk, and what should I know about staying nearby?
