Both courses are equally walkable —save for the heart-pumping climb to the first tee on the Blue, which at least yields a spectacular panorama of the property—and each possesses its share of individually memorable holes. Blue highlights include the wild, unique par-3 seventh that calls for a lake carry to an undulating green cocooned in the sandhills, the drivable par-4 13th, with its inspired fairway contouring and the outstanding par-5 17th, with its perfectly placed, risk/reward-inducing cross bunkering. The Red counters with the stern, stunning starting hole, with a drive over water and scrub and with an uphill trek past a massive white sand dune. Red also tosses in the long par-3 16th, which demands an aerial tee shot over water to a confoundingly contoured Biarritz green, bisected by a deep swale.
