This course offers a fair test for everyone, with multiple tee boxes that let you choose your adventure. You'll appreciate the elevation changes and tight fairways on the back nine, demanding precision rather than brute strength, which makes it a fun challenge for all.

Keep an eye out for the dramatic par-3 12th, which plays downhill to a well-guarded green – it's a real beauty and a great photo op. The views from the 18th tee, looking back over the valley, are also unforgettable and a fantastic way to finish your round.
