Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 17th hole - it's a beauty with water guarding the front and left, demanding a precise shot. You'll also notice the course makes excellent use of the natural elevation changes, particularly on the back nine, which adds a lot of character and strategic challenge. It's not just flat, open fairways here.
