Each hole presents a different and interesting challenge. There are lakes and ravines, set amongst wonderful natural vegetation with olive trees, palm trees and cactus. The finishing hole is a beautiful par 4 with water cascading to the left, flowing from the lake that surrounds the green on 3 sides.
