The Golf Course & Resort Amenities
At the heart of the resort is a championship 18-hole golf course (par 72, about 6,153 metres) — a collaboration between world-renowned designs: the first nine by Dave Thomas, the back nine and “Amen Corner” by Nicklaus Design.
The “front nine” demands precision and strategic play whilst the “back nine” offers wide fairways and bigger play options, ideal for both serious and casual golfers. The famed “Amen Corner” around the resort’s lake maybe a challenge but its one of the best highlights and has beautiful views.
