パタナ ゴルフ クラブ ＆ スポーツ リゾート (AB コース)
A hilly course with 27 holes in the British style. There is not much water involved, but instead many bunkers and rough are used to enhance strategy. Pot bunkers, which are often used by designers, are found everywhere on this course, making it difficult and beautiful. There are sometimes bunkers that are out of sight, which can be a little confusing for first-time players, but if you accept it as a British style course, you can enjoy it. Formerly Noble Place GC.

Course Introduction
This is a short hole surrounded by water on three sides except for the right side. The green backs to the side, but is only just over 30 yards wide, so accurate club selection is important.
It's a fairly straight hole. It's short for a par 6, so it's possible to get on in three, but the creek that crosses just in front of the green makes it tricky, so you have to be careful with your third shot.
A straight, long par 4. The green is well guarded by bunkers. The surrounding area, including the green and the clubhouse, offers a magnificent view.
This is a very challenging straight hole. The fairway is flanked by water on both sides, narrowing the landing area for the tee shot and making the tee shot tense. The second shot is a slight uphill shot over the water onto an elevated green, which is completely surrounded by water. If the second shot is even slightly short, it will be caught in the very deep bunker guarding the front of the green, making it difficult to save par. The green has strong undulations.
A fairly straight par 5 hole of just over 600 yards. The following wind makes it feel less long. The bunker guarding the front of the green comes into play on the third shot. Beautiful views unfold around the green and the clubhouse behind it.
The course is 3,472 yards long and par 36. The third hole is a 525-yard par 5. It's a dogleg to the left with a pond on the left and the green slightly to the right. The sixth hole is a 407-yard par 4. There are water hazards on both sides of the fairway and the second shot requires crossing a creek. These two holes make this a memorable course.
