A welcoming opening par 4 playing relatively short with a straightforward layout. The fairway is receptive off the tee, though greenside bunkers on the right demand accuracy on the approach shot.
A long par 5 with a manageable dogleg shape offering birdie opportunities for longer hitters. Water hazards and bunkers frame the fairway, requiring thoughtful positioning on both the drive and layup.
A demanding par 4 that plays as one of the course's most difficult holes, with a narrow fairway and tight approach. Strategic bunkering and elevated green complexity make this a true test of precision.
A short par 3 with a small target green surrounded by trouble. The elevated tee shot and compact landing area demand pinpoint accuracy despite the modest yardage.
A surprisingly challenging par 4 that plays as one of the easiest handicaps on the course. The straightforward routing and lack of major hazards provide a scoring opportunity in the opening nine.
A picturesque short par 3 with a well-bunkered green protected on multiple sides. The modest yardage is deceiving, as the small target and surrounding hazards make it a deceptive test.

A strategic par 5 with a moderate dogleg requiring intelligent routing to set up the best approach. Water and bunkers penalize aggressive lines, rewarding placement over distance off the tee.

A deceptively difficult par 3 with significant length variation across the tee boxes. The green's elevated position and surrounding bunkers make club selection and execution critical on this mid-range one-shotter.
A moderately challenging par 4 with a relatively forgiving fairway and accessible green. Strategic bunkering around the green provides the main defense on this mid-course hole.
A stout par 4 and the sixth-hardest hole, featuring length and a well-defined fairway corridor. Bunkers and hazards guard the approach, creating a demanding second shot to a protected green.
The course's easiest hole, a diminutive par 3 offering a rare birdie opportunity. Despite its short length, greenside hazards still require controlled execution on this par-breaking opportunity.
