Golf courses

The resort’s 9-hole course is perched 200 feet on top of cliffs with tee shots over ravines with beautiful ocean and beach views. You’ll never forget playing at this stunningly dramatic course. The signature hole of this beautiful pine-tree lined Martin Hawtree design is the par 3 sixth hole, the Devil’s Parlour, built over a ravine that requires a 215 yard tee shot over the ocean and cliffs to a narrow green.

Golf

The course as a whole is extremely entertaining for all levels with trees protecting the fairways from the ocean winds and it’s obviously not too long either.
