A straightforward par 4 opening hole where the fairway gradually narrows as it approaches the green. Bunkers guard the right side of the green, and the length increases significantly from the back tees, making positioning off the tee important.

A lengthy par 5 that offers birdie opportunity for longer hitters. The hole plays relatively straight with strategic bunkering along the fairway, and the green is well-defended, requiring a precise third shot for scoring chances.

A short par 4 with a narrow corridor of fairway that demands accuracy off the tee more than length. The green sits tight with limited bail-out area, making this a deceptively tricky hole despite its modest yardage.

A short par 3 over water to a modest green with limited depth. The tee shot is the only opportunity for a good score, as the small green and surrounding hazards leave little room for recovery.

A mid-length par 4 that doglegs and tightens considerably in the landing zone. Hazards frame the inside of the turn, and the elevated green demands a precise approach after navigating the narrowed fairway.

The signature hole and #1 handicap, this formidable par 4 stretches across the course with bunkers strategically placed along the entire right side. The green is heavily guarded and elevated, making this one of the most challenging two-shot holes on the course.

A mid-length par 3 with a well-bunkered green complex and a narrow target area. The hole's difficulty varies greatly with yardage changes, but the raised green and surrounding sand make it consistently demanding.

A solid par 4 that requires two strong, accurate shots to reach the green in regulation. Bunkers define both sides of the fairway in the critical landing area, and the green is angled to make approach shots challenging.

A generous par 5 that plays longest on the course from the back tees, offering birdie opportunity despite its length. The fairway is relatively open but narrows near the green, which is protected by bunkers on the left.

A short to mid-length par 4 with a fairway that doglegs slightly left. Out-of-bounds lurks along the right, while the green is accessible but defended by bunkers, creating a balanced risk-reward proposition.

The second-hardest hole on the course, this lengthy par 4 features a dramatic dogleg right with water guarding the inside of the turn. The green is elevated and narrow, punishing anything short or right of the target line.

The shortest hole on the course, this diminutive par 3 plays over water with minimal green complex. Despite its modest length, the tight target and surrounding hazards make it a deceptive risk depending on wind conditions.

A challenging par 4 that plays longer than many on the course, particularly from the back tees. The fairway narrows in the landing zone with bunkers squeezing both sides, and the green sits back with further bunker protection.

A mid-length par 4 with an aggressive dogleg right around bunkers and hazards. The hole demands a bold tee shot to position for the approach, as the green is tucked tightly on the inside of the dogleg.

A short par 4 that offers a chance to score despite its modest length and #14 handicap rating. The fairway opens generously but the small green is well-guarded, requiring precision on the approach shot.

A quick par 3 over water with a modest green that requires only a confident short iron or wedge. The water frames the entire left side, making accuracy essential despite the relatively short distance.

A lengthy par 5 that stretches across the course with continuous hazards framing the right side throughout. The fairway narrows significantly on approach to a deeply bunkered green, making this a strategic three-shot hole even for longer hitters.

A substantial closing par 5 that features water down the left and bunkers throughout the fairway, creating a dramatic finishing hole. The green is elevated and heavily bunkered, requiring a composed third shot for a birdie opportunity or safe par.
