 Beautiful course! 
 This is what the course looks like from above.

Not a tree on the property.

Explains the wind. https://image.nostr.build/49eec3ba616e2dded213d13f9c60d3ca27c50315df6f0eddf4f58bc23419d8f8.jpg

 Badass 
 I’ve visited, the rounds are like $800. It’s private and we were lucky to even get in to buy a hat at the pro shop. This course is crazy manicured. It is a perfectly kept course. 
 I think I paid about $250 USD off season back in 2019!

But yes it was such an amazing experience. 

Worth every penny.

Also had to stop and buy more golf balls after 9 holes haha the wind was beyond words! 
 We went last summer and it was way more like $400 Euros and $100 Euros for a caddy and another $100 for tip. Which came out to about $800 USD. Either way high cost, high quality round. A must for any golfer. 
 The views are amazing but couldn’t help think while watching how windy it is with no trees tough course 
 You should hear some of the stories. The caddy was telling us some good ones during the round.

Sergio played there a while back. 

First day he played a hole driver, 9 iron - with the wind

The next day, the wind switched and he hit driver, 3 wood, 6 iron 
 This was also pretty wild nostr:nprofile1qqsvlca5x9keq5e4km8q26aqas3skkr6xdpcr6ptlxsz5xz095rglrgpz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcqg0waehxw309ajjumn0wvhxcmmvnq2dwn
