The front 9 has wide fairways that allow you to play spontaneously, while the back 9 is a wooded course surrounded by trees. Players need to adapt well to this change. In particular, the water hazards on the 17th and 18th holes require special attention. Accurate shots and club selection are important on these holes, as the water hazards have a significant impact on play. The beautiful scenery and course management required will make these holes memorable for players.
