Dunes covered with heather plants, winding streams, and uneven jacquard slopes.
All these make the fairway area never a wide road.

Every hole in the old stadium has its own name. These bunkers are blown into different shapes by the sea breeze, and many bunkers look like deep bowls.
1 1 Cave Stras, 14 Cave Hell and 17 Cave Ludong are all world-famous, especially Ludong.
17 hole is named after a gravel road next to the green. When a player attacks the green, it is very difficult to accidentally hit the ball into the gravel road next to the green. The caves "Ludong" and 18 are connected with the Swilcan Bridge, which is said to have been built in Roman times.
