The Par 71 Championship Course measures 6,356 metres from the professional tees. The fairways have been described by leading golf writers as the best in Europe, if not the world. It is not an easy course – nor was it intended to be. It is designed to demand precision for every shot, by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in 1974.
