Signature Hole
15th / Par 5 / 600 yards
This is a very tough 3-shots straight hole. Of course is impossible to get the green in two, but is really difficult to get the green even in 3 unless you are not a long hitter. If you drive around 230/250 yards, the landing area of the second shot is cross by a diagonal water channel that will putt your ball in risk. If you play shorter of that hazard, the you will have 180 yards to the pin. However if you make 450 yards with your first two shots, then you are safe.
