Challenging tight links over the same kind of terrain as its more famous neighbour. Designed by Bernard Langer, who clearly has a liking for pot bunkers.

The inspirational use of natural dunes and land features, and creative use of elevated tees and greens, acutely angled doglegs, and 98 strategically placed bunkers test even the most accomplished of players.
