The first few holes are ordinary, however the spectacular part of the course starts from the 6th. Some holes are amazing between huge dunes and the Atlantic Ocean. The fairways look narrow, the greens tiny and the bunkers ruthless. This is a spectacular masterpiece ranked in the top 5 of the best courses in the country. |
