HOLES

The round begins with a short par 4, with a wide fairway and a green without many hazards to defend it, playing near the bunkers on the right edge of the fairway does not give rewards, because the angle of the green welcomes shots from the left side, from my point of view the better choice is playing a long iron/fairway wood, leaving a 100 yards as approach.

The second is middle-length par 4, the main feature of the hole is a bunker in the middle of the fairway, carrying it the approach will be easier and more open, due to the fact that the slope of the fairway after the hazard will pull the ball onto the left side, having the best angle to the green.

The third hole is the first and only par 5 until the 12th. The fairway is divided by two massive fairway bunkers that define two distinct landing areas. To get to the pin in two is better to play on the left, due to the angle of the green and to the presence of a sandy hazard on the right side of the green The fairway bunker on the right side of the fairway is an example of camouflage, the distract player will be tempted to carry on with it, thinking that the architect placed the hazard to suggest the best way to the green, the smart player will avoid it, noticing the bunker on the right next to the green.

The forth hole runs straight along the coast line, the tee shot is quite hard, because the landing area is between a cliff and a large bunker, as it is the second shot. The hole does not really imply strategy, it is quite long (464 yards) and the only way to make a par is hitting two straight long shots between hazard, making the hole a penal one; this is, in my opinion, his way to challenge best golfers, the only ones that can reach the green in regulation, high handicapper can play on the left, short of the bunkers for a relatively easy 5. In the winter this hole could be very tough, due to the prevailing wind coming from front-right.
