A straightaway par 4 that plays to a well-bunkered green complex. The fairway is generous off the tee but tightens considerably on the approach, with bunkers guarding both sides of the putting surface and demanding accuracy on the second shot.

A shorter par 4 with a dogleg right character that rewards accuracy over distance. Water lines the right side from tee to green, making the left side of the fairway the preferred route despite trees narrowing that corridor.

A tight, uphill par 4 ranked among the course's most challenging holes. Out-of-bounds lurks left and right, creating a penal driving corridor that funnels into a elevated green protected by front bunkers.

The longest hole on the course, this par 5 dogleg left rewards aggressive positioning but punishes wayward drives with water left and trees right. The fairway gradually widens on the approach, allowing players to set up for their third shot.

A short par 3 over water to a well-defended green. The putting surface is surrounded by bunkers on three sides, with the water hazard fronting the green and making the back of the green particularly difficult to access.

A demanding par 4 that plays as one of the course's most difficult holes. A narrow fairway corridor bordered by trees on both sides leads to a green nestled between bunkers, where precision placement is essential.

A short par 4 that emphasizes accuracy and course management over raw distance. The compact fairway offers limited bail-out areas, and strategic bunker placement encourages careful positioning rather than aggressive driving.

A mid-length par 3 with an island-style green surrounded by water and hazards. The putting surface is relatively narrow, making club selection and execution critical to avoiding trouble.

A strong finishing par 4 for the front nine with water hazards looming left and bunkers right. The hole's tight squeeze and penalty for missing either side make it a stern test heading into the turn.
A straightaway par 4 with a generous fairway that narrows near the green. Two greenside bunkers guard the right side of the putting surface, requiring the approach shot to find the correct angle for scoring.
A shorter par 4 with a dogleg right configuration and water hugging the right side throughout. The preferred line left offers better angles but trees crowd that side, creating a strategic decision off the tee.

The longest hole on the course, this imposing par 5 dogleg left requires strategic positioning on both the drive and second shot. Water left and trees right frame the corridor, and the elevated green is heavily bunkered.
A short, island-style par 3 surrounded by water and hazards on all sides. The compact green offers minimal margin for error, making this the course's most severely penalizing short hole.
A demanding par 4 ranked among the course's most difficult. A narrow driving corridor bordered by hazards opens into a complex green site protected by multiple bunkers and water left.
A short par 4 that prioritizes accuracy and strategic positioning over distance. Tight fairway corridors and strategic bunker placement reward thoughtful course management and punish loose shots.
A mid-length par 3 with water and bunkers framing the green. The putting surface sits on a slight elevation, and the hazard protection requires a committed, confident swing to the target.
A strong finishing par 4 with water left and bunkers right creating a dramatic closing hole. The fairway narrows on the approach to a well-defended green, finishing the round with a stern examination of shot precision.
