Fortaleza - 9 stops - par 28

From a rooftop perch, Fortaleza looks like a grid of sun-bleached concrete and salt air. The map is the real city, and this quick 9-hole round is played on its actual streets, using landmarks like the Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora da Assunção as the holes. I know every nook of these 5.9 km and the 44 portals the ball uses to skip across town. From up here, I see the whole layout.
