This captivating 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course sits on a 125 acres of undulating fairways and greens.  A variety of shots challenge players of all skill levels.  The dramatic elevation changes stir the senses while a variety of terrains ranging from forests, valleys or sea cliffs ensures a unique approach and a major photo opportunity.  Although the course was envisioned to challenge yet not overwhelm, the scenery doesn’t adhere to this principle.  Players need to be aware of distractions which can spoil one´s concentration each time a family of playful white-faced monkeys join you in the game.
