Par 5, Cross section of the fairway
The Par 5 hole is 527 long from the back tees. It plays towards the prevailing wind.
It gives two options from the tee:- Carry the bunker on the left- Play on the right of the bunker
The risk of carrying the bunker on the left gives the rewards to play from an elevated position that gives the complete view of the hole, the golfer is tempted to go to the green in two shots, carrying another bunker.From the right side of the fairway it is not the possible to see the green, the only part of the hole that is visible is the right side of the fairway after yhe waste area.
The 70 y waste area is the main feature of the hole and who misses the fairway with the tee shot can only lay-up before it. The fairway is shaped to have a small area before the sand on the left that gives an opportunity to get to the green in three with a reasonably short approach(155 y).
The green complex is designed to accomodate shots from the left, because a deep depression on the front-right makes challenging the approach from the right. The two bunkers carved in the natural dunes make the target apper smaller. The green has two levels.

Par 4, cross section
The hole is a 449 yards par 4 from the back tees, the positions of tees is planned to give the same experience to all kinds of golfers; from all tees there are the same opportunities to play the hole, enjoying its strategy options. The player can choose among three routes:- Play left of the fairway bunker next to the see- Play before the fairway bunker- Play right of the fairway bunker, playing near another bunker and carrying the rough area.
The options are designed to give different risks and rewards.Playing on the left side near the coast the reward is have a 150y approach with the complete view of the green and a good angle of attack. The bunker in front of the green is in play just when the flag in the right-back side.Playing before the bunker is the safer way to hit the tee-shot, the second will be longer (175-180 y) and almost blind, because a dune obstructs the view, from the landing area it is only possible to see the tip of the flag; bunkers that protect the green are more in play.Playing on the right of the bunker the second shot will be around 175 yards, the view of the green is partially blind, because the dune covers the left side of the green; the bunkers that protect the green make challenging the approach.The green has three levels and slopes from back-right to front-left, the angles of slopes welcome shots from the left side of the fairway

Par 3, Cross section of the green
The Par 3 hole is 186 yards long from the back tees. The tees’ position are designed to minimize the carry of the sea for forwards tees. From the back tees the player is forced to carry the water to get to the green. The green is angled following the coast line,it has many slopes to reward players that aim to the pin. There is an option to layup on the right side of the green, but, especially when the pin is on the left the approach will be very difficult. The two bunkers on the back-left are placed to intimidate the player, because they appear bold and make the landing area smaller than actually is.
