The signature hole is the par 3, 160 yard 17th with its spectacular views from the tee across the bay surrounding the island green perched on a volcanic rock.

Reviews
This is a course that accentuates the gulf between good golfers and the rest. The week I was there the club had a special offer on a bag of ten used balls. High handicappers are advised to take it up, if the offer is still available. You'll probably need them all!
Value For Money: Fair
