• Fairways : Overall, the fairways on all holes are wide, allowing for comfortable shots. However, there are also some fairways with significant undulations and blind fairways.
• Green : The greens are wide and large, but there are many greens with subtle slopes, so you must manage your score through careful putting.
• Bunkers : In addition to the bunkers around the green, fairway bunkers can have a significant impact on golfers' scores, so they should be avoided.

With a mix of easy and challenging elements, Magenta Shores Golf Course is a course that will satisfy golfers of all skill levels.
