The 4th par-3 hole has the valley. The bunker in front of the green is very deep and difficult to escape. The 9th hole is 400 yards par-4. It is a key to aim little left side to get a par because there are 3 bunkers crossing the fairway. The 11th hole is 160 yards par-3. There is a bunker in the back of the green but it is not visible from the teeing shot area, so it is better to approach from the front of the green. The 15th 385 yards par-4 hole is a famous hole. At the drop point of the teeing shot, there is a mountain on the left side and forest on the right side. It is quite difficult because the width of fairway is only 25 yards.
