Absolutely, the course truly comes alive on the back nine, especially around the 12th and 13th holes where you get glimpses of the Bristol Channel. The par-3 15th is a standout, demanding a precise shot over a dip to a well-guarded green- it's a beauty that will test your nerve. You'll want to take a moment to soak in the scenery.
