A straightforward par 4 with a welcoming fairway that gradually narrows as it approaches the green. Bunkers protect both sides of the putting surface, rewarding accurate approach shots to a relatively open landing area.

A long par 5 that invites aggressive play from the tee with a wide fairway corridor. The hole requires thoughtful positioning for the second shot, as the approach to the green tightens considerably with strategic bunkering.

A mid-length par 3 with a well-bunkered green complex demanding accuracy from the tee. The putting surface is surrounded by sand, making distance control essential on this island-style hole.

One of the course's most demanding par 4s, this hole stretches nearly 450 yards from the back tees and plays uphill throughout. The narrow fairway and formidable length combine to make this a true test of power and precision.

A reachable par 5 with a broad fairway that offers multiple angles for the second shot. Strategic bunkering in the landing areas rewards thoughtful positioning over distance off the tee.

A short, straightforward par 3 that plays over relatively open ground to a well-exposed green. Despite its modest length, the hole's simplicity can be deceptive for those who miscalculate the distance.

A manageable par 4 with a corridor fairway that remains relatively open from tee to green. The hole's character comes from its length and the need for accurate iron play into a modestly defended green.

A strong mid-length par 4 that demands solid striking from the tee to a fairway with subtle contours. Greenside bunkers frame the approach, protecting a green that sits at an angle to the fairway.

The course's second-hardest hole, this par 4 stretches toward 450 yards and presents a genuine challenge from the championship tees. The fairway offers reasonable width, but the length and approach complexity make this a defining test.

A shorter par 4 that plays downhill with a fairway that narrows in the critical landing zone. The descent can obscure distance judgment, and greenside bunkers demand a precise approach.

A mid-length par 4 with a fairway that doglegs slightly, offering natural strategic interest. Bunkers positioned at the turn and guarding the green reward smart positioning over aggressive play.

A mid-range par 3 requiring an accurate mid-to-long iron over a predominantly clear approach to the green. While relatively uncluttered by hazards, the hole's distance makes precision the primary challenge.

The course's longest and most difficult hole, this par 5 stretches well over 500 yards and demands three strong, well-placed shots. Strategic bunkering throughout the hole and a well-defended green compound the length.

A short par 3 that plays to a modest green across relatively open terrain. The hole's brevity can mislead, as accurate distance control is essential despite the compact yardage.

A well-balanced par 5 with a fairway that opens generously off the tee but narrows for the approach. Strategic bunkering frames the landing areas, encouraging thoughtful club selection on the second shot.

A strong par 4 of nearly 420 yards that plays with subtle doglegs and demanding fairway positioning. Bunkers guard key angles and the green, punishing imprecise shots throughout the hole.

The third-hardest hole on the course, this par 4 approaches 465 yards and presents a relentless examination of driving and iron play. The fairway offers limited width, and the well-bunkered green demands a quality approach.

A mid-length par 3 concluding the round with a well-bunkered green complex set across open ground. The finishing hole rewards precise tee shots but remains playable for all skill levels.
