Comments: A mix of links and parkland... Highlights the 216-yard par-3 over the estuary. .. Very tight course with character . .. Water hazards the primary defence... Rough can get high... Pop off the plane and onto the course...Tight, but you are lost without the driver... Site of Greg Norman's famous 370-yard drive... Front nine a hellish challenge.
