Holes 6 to 14 were designed by Joseph Lee with the collaboration of Rocky Roquerome, both from the USA, and opened in 1989. The terrain is superb, sandy and littered with umbrella pines.

Rocky Roquemore is the course architect, and has taken advantage of this beautiful setting in a Nature Reserve with the blue sea as its southern boundary. A first hole of 475 meters is a par-5 and sets the style of the course by taking the player down a gentle slope to the first of many undulating greens. The par-3 fifth hole is a challenging dogleg to the left with a water hazard to catch the short ball. The home nine takes the player close to the beach providing panoramic sea views. The interesting par-4 fourteenth of 333 meters is another dogleg to the left and presents water to the right on the drive, and then again inviting water to your left to carry on the approach shot to the green. The broad fairway of the eighteenth par-5 of 475 meters brings the player to a tricky green which is almost surrounded by its protecting bunkers.
