This links style course which added the back nine in July 1996 requires accurate shots The course is located next to the ocean with most of the holes having a view of the water Due to the ocean proximity the wind off the water is a factor at all times but particularly in the afternoons The fairly fast greens are small to medium in size with some undulation The fairways are wide with brush along the sides There are not too many sand bunkers but the ones that are there are large and some have grass mounds in the middle of them Several holes have barranca and creeks that cross the fairways particularly on the back nine The back nine has many very interesting holes including the signature hole 13 This hole nicknamed Snags because of the two tall dead trees that are in the fairway is a 501 yard par 5 which requires a tee shot from out of a grove of trees to a downhill dogleg fairway that provides a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean The second shot must carry a creek located only 200 yards from the tee box An accurate approach shot is required to a green with a narrow opening and protected by sand bunkers on three sides When you play the course ask the pro shop for their sheets describing each hole and how to play them You can reach the pro shop directly by calling 707 785 2468
