The Strand Course is an exhilarating golf course set within gigantic sand dunes. Although incredibly challenging it is also very enjoyable, offering one of the best opening 9 holes in golf. Credit must go to the designer as the new holes blend perfectly with the old holes. There are a number of memorable holes on the Strand Course, in particular the two new par 3’s, the 3 rd and the 6 th. The 1st, a downhill 425 yard par 4 is also a great hole.
