One of its most iconic holes is Hole 7 on the Makulot course, a demanding par-5 right dogleg that tests a player’s precision and nerves. With water hazards hugging both the front and back ends, players must think carefully about their second shot; timing, distance, and direction are key. Every hole throughout the course has its own unique layout, which combine visual appeal with strategic depth.
