This course sits near the Atlantic Ocean and offers ocean views. The terrain is hilly. Numerous deep sand bunkers have been incorporated into the course design.  The fairways are wide open, but there are water hazards that come into play on seven holes, including #2, a 156-yard, par 3, requiring a carry over a pond.

Watch out for # 1, the 573-yard par-5 challenge is the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 10, a 322 yard par-4.
