Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club - Avalon Links Course

The new short course designed by Greg Norman's team is what I believe every short course should be - fun, playable, interesting and engaging with a mix of long and short holes. It was built on 19 acres pinched by the big course and resort roads. It's an incredible addition that should grow the game for not only families and beginners staying at the resort but potentially island residents as well. Norman required that the course include a par 4, a decision I applaud. It's only 345 yards, so good players can pretend that they can drive the green, while beginners should still be able to handle its challenge. I used five different clubs off the tee - driver, wedge, 9 iron, 7 iron and 5 hybrid, proving just how varied the distances are. Once the small clubhouse is finished, this will be another fine amenity at one of the Caribbean's premier golf resorts.
