One of the most memorable features of the course is the second hole, a par-4 with a sharp dogleg right. The fairway is flanked by a stream, requiring precision in the tee shot to avoid potential hazards on both sides.<\/p>\n

The elevated green, with its undulating surface, adds a layer of difficulty, making for an exciting and nerve-wracking play. The hole demands accuracy, control, and a solid second shot that must avoid deep bunkers to reach the green.<\/p>\n
