A reachable par 5 for longer hitters, this hole plays relatively straight with a fairway that opens toward the green. The key is avoiding trouble left and right off the tee, as positioning is critical for a successful approach to a well-bunkered green.

A strategic par 4 that demands accuracy from the start, with tight fairway conditions and bunkers framing both sides of the approach. The narrow landing area and well-protected green make this one of the course's most demanding short par 4s.

A short par 3 with an island green character, requiring a precise carry over water to reach the putting surface. The green's isolated position and lack of bailout area make club selection and accuracy paramount.

A compact par 4 with a tight, hemmed-in feeling as the fairway narrows considerably as it approaches the green. Bunkers and hazards close in from both sides, leaving little room for error on the approach.

A generous par 5 with a fairly open fairway layout that allows for strategic positioning on the second shot. The green complex is well-defended, and length off the tee is rewarded with a more manageable approach distance.

A strong par 4 that plays longer than its yardage suggests, with bunkers and rough guarding the fairway corridor. The approach to a well-bunkered green demands precision, making this a formidable middle tee shot.

A short par 3 requiring a medium iron or less to a relatively open green, though hazards still frame the target. Despite its modest length, the exposed nature of the green means that accuracy is essential to avoid missing.

The course's signature par 4, this hole presents the sternest test with a long carry required and hazards punishing both sides of the fairway. The green is heavily guarded, and the overall length and difficulty make this the most challenging hole on the course.

A short par 4 that tempts aggressive play off the tee, with a narrow fairway that tightens further toward the green. Hazards and bunkers reward accuracy and penalize wayward shots on both the drive and approach.

A longer par 5 with a straightforward routing that opens up opportunities for three-shot play, though accuracy remains important throughout. The fairway allows some room to work, but the green is protected and demands a solid final approach.

A compact par 4 with a dogleg character, where the fairway bends and narrows as it plays toward the green. Bunkers and rough frame the turn and approach, creating a tactical puzzle for the second shot.

A solid par 4 with a fairway that gradually narrows as it moves toward the green, increasing pressure on the approach shot. The green is relatively well-protected, and positioning off the tee becomes increasingly important.

A short par 3 with a straightforward green that offers reasonable width but is guarded by bunkers and hazards around the perimeter. The modest yardage belies the precision required to avoid the defending bunkers.

The second-most difficult hole on the course, this par 4 features a dramatic doglegging fairway and extreme length from the back tees. The green is well-bunkered and severely contoured, creating one of the course's most demanding finishes to the front nine.

A long par 5 that stretches across the back nine with length as its primary defense, offering limited bailout areas off the tee. The approach must navigate a well-defended green, and the overall yardage demands efficient strike play to reach in regulation.

A short but treacherous par 4 where length is not the main issue, but rather the tight, hazard-laden layout punishes wayward shots severely. The narrow corridor and well-guarded green make this a precision test despite the modest yardage.

The shortest par 3 on the course, this hole offers a false sense of ease with its modest distance but is framed by hazards on both sides. The compact green and surrounding trouble demand careful club selection and placement despite the short yardage.

A solid par 4 closing hole with a relatively open fairway that narrows approaching the green, setting up a final approach shot as the climax of the round. The green is reasonably accessible, offering a fair finishing challenge that rewards accurate play.
