And to make it even more difficult, there are many sand dunes and deep green side bunkers that make the conditions a lot rougher. While it can still be extremely challenging, its beauty is undeniable giving any golfer the chance to enjoy its exquisiteness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.
