A short par 3 with a relatively open green complex and minimal hazard interference. The straightforward nature of this hole makes it an excellent scoring opportunity early in the round.
A dogleg right par 4 with hazards tightening the landing area around the bend. The approach shot must navigate bunkering that guards the front and sides of the green, making placement off the tee critical.

A mid-length par 3 with water or hazards creating a challenging island-green feel. The green's isolated position and surrounding trouble make club selection and accuracy paramount.

A short, tight par 4 with minimal room for error off the tee and a confined approach to the green. The hole's main challenge comes from its compressed fairway corridor rather than extreme length.
