Why play it

The wooded companion course

The West gives the resort genuine two-course depth. Mature trees and water create a more enclosed visual character than the East, making it a useful second-day round for golfers who want a different strategic rhythm without changing hotels.

Playing intelligence

Control the shape of the round

Choose lines carefully

Tree-lined corridors make start line and shape more important than indiscriminate length.

Water changes the target

Where pools and streams enter the hole, favour the side that leaves the simplest next shot rather than the most aggressive route.

Use it as round two

On a two-night stay, the West makes a strong companion to the East and keeps transfers to zero while still changing the golf.
