The West Course, with its frequent changes in elevation, offers a different set of challenges. The front nine demand accurate driving to avoid the 'barrancas' (natural storm gullies), while the back nine, up amongst the hills, are more open but nonetheless challenging.

"The 18th is a great finale on the West Course. The magnificent view from the tee is always something to look forward to and as the tee sits very high above the fairway, the wind is always ready to play its part.”
 - Nigel Mansell, Former Formula 1 World Champion.
