Local tip
Don't automatically hit driver. Position is more important than distance. Read the greens carefully—they're quicker than they first appear. Bring plenty of balls if it's your first visit.
Local tip
This course is considerably tougher than the scorecard suggests. Expect over 100 bunkers, several lakes, dramatic elevation changes and natural ravines. It rewards strategic golf rather than aggressive play, and many golfers say it improves on a second round once you understand the layout.
Local tip
Hole 14 (most scenic) has an incredible mountain backdrop with views towards the Mediterranean.
Local tip
Hole 6 (signature hole) is one of the most photographed holes, featuring dramatic bunkering, lakes and the surrounding mountains.
