A straightforward par 4 with a wide fairway that gradually tightens as it approaches the green. The moderate length and relatively benign hazard layout make this an ideal opening hole to establish rhythm.
A long par 5 that rewards aggressive positioning off the tee, with the fairway opening up for a potential second shot approach. Water hazards frame the hole and demand precision, particularly on the layup or go-for-it second shot.
A stout par 4 with a fairway that constricts significantly in the landing zone and near the green. Strategic bunkering and potential water left of the green create a challenging risk-reward dynamic on the approach.
A demanding par 4 where accuracy off the tee is essential due to a narrowing corridor and water hazards that threaten both sides of the hole. The green is tightly protected, making this one of the course's most exacting tests.
A short par 3 with a modest green complex surrounded by strategic bunkering. Despite its length, the small target and surrounding hazards require a precise, committed shot.
An inviting par 4 that plays shorter than its yardage suggests, with a relatively open fairway and accessible green. This reprieve hole offers scoring opportunity amid the course's more demanding stretches.
A mid-length par 3 with a well-bunkered green complex that demands accuracy over distance. Water hazards left and right of the target create a narrow corridor to the putting surface.
The course's signature par 5, stretching over 580 yards with a dramatic risk-reward character. A strong second shot sets up the opportunity for an aggressive approach or layup, with hazards penalizing wayward shots throughout.
A handsome par 4 with a fairway that widens in the landing zone but tightens considerably near an elevated green. Water and bunkers guard the approach, making club selection and accuracy critical for a scoring opportunity.
A mid-length par 4 where position off the tee is paramount due to strategic bunkering and water hazards that frame the fairway. The approach to a well-protected green demands precision from the second shot.
A magnificent par 5 combining length with strategic complexity, featuring a fairway that narrows in the critical landing zones. Water hazards and bunkering throughout the hole reward smart positioning over sheer distance.
A formidable par 4 and one of the course's most difficult holes, with water hazards that threaten the entire left side of the fairway and guard the green. The tightening corridor and well-bunkered green demand both power and placement.
A compelling par 4 where water hazards on the left create a challenging strategic puzzle off the tee and into a carefully bunkered green. The hole's moderate length belies its tactical difficulty.
A short par 3 that plays as the course's easiest hole, with a straightforward approach to an open green. The lack of significant hazards provides welcome relief in the back nine stretch.
A short par 4 that tempts aggressive play off the tee with its modest yardage, though water hazards and bunkers penalize errant shots. The diminished length makes this a golden opportunity for a birdie.
A picturesque par 3 where water and bunkers surround a modest green, creating a deceptive test despite the short yardage. Strategic club selection is more valuable than raw distance on this well-defended par 3.
A strong par 4 with water hazards that menace the left side of both the fairway and green, creating a dramatic visual and strategic challenge. Precise positioning off the tee opens the door to an attacking approach shot.
A fitting finishing par 5 with strategic complexity that requires thoughtful positioning throughout the hole to set up a manageable approach. Water hazards and bunkering frame the entire hole, rewarding smart play over aggressive heroics.
