This opening par 5 sets the stage with a relatively straightforward layout, though length becomes the primary challenge at the higher tee boxes. The fairway is generally forgiving, but accuracy into the green is critical as the approach narrows significantly.

A short par 4 that rewards precision over power, with the fairway corridor tightening considerably as it approaches the green. Strategic placement off the tee is essential, as the compact green complex leaves little room for error on the approach shot.

A mid-range par 3 that plays dramatically longer from the back tees, with the green sitting exposed and vulnerable to wind. The lack of greenside bunkers means that approach shots must find the putting surface cleanly, as miss-hits will roll away quickly.

A solid par 4 that gradually increases in difficulty with each tee box, featuring a fairway that slopes subtly and demands controlled driving. The green is well-bunkered and set back, making it a stout two-shot test from the championship markers.

This par 4 presents a stern challenge from the back tees with its length and tight fairway geometry. The approach shot is complicated by hazards surrounding the green, which slopes away on the far side.

The shortest hole on the course, this par 3 is deceptively difficult due to its exposed green and the wind corridor it occupies. The small, undulating putting surface punishes anything short or wide of the mark.

A powerful par 4 ranked among the course's most difficult, this hole stretches significantly with each tee box and features a narrow, elevated fairway. The approach into a heavily bunkered green makes this a relentless two-shot demand.

The signature par 5 and the course's #1 handicap, this hole demands two strong shots just to reach scoring position on the green. Water and strategic bunker placement throughout reward precision placement over raw distance.

A devilish par 4 that appears modest in length but features a severely sloping fairway and a green that sits at an awkward angle. The challenge lies in the approach shot, where the green's positioning makes it difficult to hold regardless of club selection.

A substantial par 5 that requires strategic layup decisions due to hazards positioned at driving distance and beyond. The fairway complexity increases with each tee box, and the final approach must navigate bunkers guarding the green complex.

Ranked as the 4th handicap, this muscular par 4 features a fairway that tightens considerably before the green. The back tees stretch this hole to championship length, making it a genuine three-shot hole for most players at full distance.

A deceptively challenging par 4 where the fairway narrows significantly in the landing zone, and hazards lurk around the green. The approach shot requires precision, as the green complex offers little forgiveness for offline approaches.

A short but treacherous par 3 that scales up dramatically from the masters to the championship tees, where it becomes a full club longer. The green's small size and sloping edges make center contact essential regardless of wind conditions.

The second-hardest hole on the course, this par 4 combines length with a fairway design that penalizes poor positioning. Water hazards frame the hole strategically, and the elevated green demands an accurate long approach shot.

A mid-length par 4 that features a fairway sloping laterally and narrowing toward the green, with bunkers positioned to catch pushed shots. The approach must carry into a tilted green that slopes back to front, making distance control critical.

A challenging par 4 that stretches to 450 yards from the championship tees, featuring a fairway that doglegs and tightens near the landing area. Strategic water placement and greenside bunkers create a demanding finish to the front side.

The easiest par 3 on the course in terms of handicap, this short hole nonetheless demands accuracy as the green is well-defended by bunkers. The modest yardage provides a brief respite before the demanding par-5 finisher.

A fitting finale, this par 5 climbs uphill throughout and features a fairway that narrows significantly as it approaches the elevated green. Strategic hazards reward intelligent positioning for the approach, and the final shot plays uphill into a receptive but sloped green.
