It truly is a fun test for golfers of all skill levels.
Tiger Woods himself said: “I set up the golf strategy to make golfers think and make choices. Regardless of your handicap, there are going to be different ways to play every hole. Angles of approach are going to be very important and will dictate the type of shots you should consider. I love this kind of golf.” El Cardonal course at Diamante is a challenging and rewarding golf experience that you’ll want to go over and over again.
