The New course is laid over a scant 45 hectares, a triangular-shaped oblong, largely elevated, with a sacrosanct nature reserve running along on boundary. To complicate matters, its centerpiece was a huge hill festooned with a small forest of cork and oak trees. Plainly, "shifting dirt," as the Dye dynasty has it, was a priority, as was transplanting trees, hundreds of them.

Because of the shape of the plot most of the holes run east to was, or the reverse, so the prevailing winds, from the mountains or the sea, are generally across the line of shot. The exceptions are holes 4, 5, 6 and 13 that lie at right angles at one end of the site. There are sea views from 12 holes - it is a backdrop to the 5th green - often over a carpet of waving tree tops. You will gather it is not displeasing to the eye.

Most of the fairways appear to be natural valleys, although even this is false. They are all man-made, hand-shaped and edged by those transplanted trees that provide perspective, acting as guiding beacons or hazards in the sky, depending upon your degree of accuracy.
