A Max Wexler and David Abell design that is friendly to all levels of play this course tips out at about 6600 yards and follows the lagoons that are a part of Bang Tao Bay and the Andaman Sea. The fact that long hitting is a necessity guarantees that placement and accuracy are the necessities to maneuver your way around the tropical coconut trees and the more than 100 bunkers strategically arranged throughout this layout. An island green on the short par 4 9th and the 612 yard 17th are a testament that you have to play this course and forget about the written word to see what it is all about.
