It’s the 20th layout that Love Golf Design has built in recent years and the first time the company has moved outside the USA to construct a course. In total, 84 acres of paspalum-grassed fairways weave around a series of enormous sand hills with the back nine – which touch on the residential element of the project between holes 10 and 14 – measuring a meaty 4,010 yards, some 700 yards longer than the front nine.

Such a dramatic site for golf – described by one commentator as “awesome, simple as that” – only surfaces once in a while and Davis Love readily acknowledges that fact saying, “the property is truly spectacular. It will blow away everyone's perception of resort golf. You are either playing towards the ocean, along the ocean or away from the ocean. And then, at times, you're down in the dunes and you pop up and are surprised by the view of the ocean. It's just such a stunning course.”
