A straightforward par 4 that plays short from the forward tees but demands accuracy from the back markers. The fairway tightens as it approaches a green defended by bunkers on the right, making precision off the tee essential.

A long par 5 with a wide fairway that invites aggressive play for longer hitters. Water hazards and bunkering near the green demand careful positioning for the approach shot.

A compact par 4 requiring accuracy over distance, with a narrow fairway that leaves little room for error. The small green is tightly bunkered, making this a deceptively challenging short hole.

One of the course's most demanding par 4s, playing long and featuring significant hazards that come into play off the tee and around the green. The hole's difficulty is amplified by strategic bunkering that protects the landing zone and approaches.

The signature par 5 and the course's most difficult hole, requiring two solid shots to reach scoring position. Water and hazards guard the fairway throughout, making placement crucial for any birdie opportunity.

The course's number-one handicap hole, a deceptively tough par 4 that plays longer than its yardage suggests. Hazards frame both sides of the fairway, and the green is heavily protected, punishing any wayward approach.

A short par 3 with a generous green that provides a brief respite before the back nine intensifies. Bunkers guard the front and sides of the green, but the hole's modest length makes it the most straightforward scoring opportunity on the front.

A mid-length par 4 with a fairway that narrows considerably near the green. Bunkering is strategically placed to challenge the approach shot, making club selection and accuracy critical.

The shortest hole on the course, playing under 100 yards from the blue tees. Despite its brevity, the green is well-protected by bunkers and surrounded by trouble, making this a risk-reward opportunity.

A solid par 4 with a fairway that slopes and bends slightly, requiring golfers to be aware of the hole's subtle breaks. Strategic bunkering near the green makes the approach shot the defining challenge.

A very short par 3 that plays well under 150 yards from most tees, offering birdie potential for accurate strikers. The elevated green and surrounding bunkers demand precision despite the modest distance.

A reachable par 5 with a fairly open fairway that encourages aggressive play from longer hitters. Hazards and bunkering tighten considerably near the green, protecting the scoring zone effectively.

A dramatic par 4 and one of the course's signature holes, ranked fourth in difficulty. The hole features intimidating hazards and bunkering that frame the fairway and guard a well-protected green.

A short par 3 that plays under 200 yards from the back tees, offering a stress-free birdie chance if the green is found. Bunkers flank the green, but the generous target area rewards solid striking.

A mid-length par 4 with a fairway that gradually narrows as it approaches the green. Strategic bunkering on both sides of the approach rewards straight hitters while punishing errant shots.

A relatively short par 4 that plays deceptively easy from forward tees but becomes increasingly challenging from the back markers. Bunkers and hazards are positioned to catch aggressive approaches to the green.

The second-most difficult hole on the course, a formidable par 4 that demands length and accuracy in equal measure. Multiple hazards frame the fairway and surround the green, making this a defining test of shotmaking.

A strong finishing par 5 that requires three well-struck shots to reach the green in regulation. Strategic hazards throughout the hole, particularly near the green, make this an exciting but challenging finale to the round.
