Paradise Greens: eighteen holes along the headland
Paradise Greens
Two tee sheets a day, par 71, carts included in the green fee.
The wind
A links in everything but the name
The course runs out along the headland and back inside it, so the first nine is into whatever the sea is doing and the second nine is not. The greens are firm, the rough is dune grass, and there is no water on the property that is not the sea.
The seventh is the one people talk about afterward. It is 168 yards downhill to a green with nothing behind it, and the number on the card is almost never the club.
