The 5th hole, 185-yard par three, you enter dune country. This one shot hole, called “Valley of Tears”, is a brute.

The next three holes are stunning where the fairways rollercoaster up and down, flanked by huge shaggy sand dunes. At the turn, we are faced with a thrilling back nine, including the 12th, a monster par five, and the sadistic par three 16th, measuring nigh on 250 yards from the back tees.
