This links stunner plays over mostly subtle front-nine terrain, though the par-3 3rd perched above the shore takes no prisoners. It then sends you on a thrilling back-nine ride of mountainous dunes, courageous carries and inspired routing. Such are the rigours of the long par-4 12th that only a fool will take on the green from anything less than position ‘A'.
Panellists' comments: "A real picture-postcard location"; "From the 12th you play a series of quite extraordinary golf holes"
