About the course |
The course is laid out on the cutting edge of the
Green Canyon above the Seti River Gorge. It is quite
difficult because of the deliberate small greens,
narrow fairways and closed out-of bound (O/B) fenced
with surrounding water ponds. A number of the tee
shots across the Seti Gorge is mentally challenging
even to the best golfers. |
