A short, straightforward par 4 with a wide-open fairway that offers a welcoming start to the round. The green is well-bunkered on the right side, demanding accuracy on the approach shot.

A solid mid-length par 4 requiring a confident tee shot to set up the approach. The fairway tightens as it approaches the green, with bunkers positioned to catch wayward shots on both sides.

A compact par 4 with relatively generous fairway width and short yardage despite its mid-handicap rating. A single bunker or two guard the green entrance, rewarding straight play with a scoring opportunity.

A challenging one-shotter that plays as the third-hardest hole on the course despite par-3 length. Water or significant hazards protect the front or sides of the green, making club selection critical.

The stroke-1 handicap hole and a formidable par 4 that demands two solid shots to reach the green in regulation. The fairway likely narrows or doglegs, with strategic hazards punishing anything but disciplined play.

A mid-length par 4 with character and moderate difficulty that requires thoughtful course management. Bunkers and potential water hazards frame the fairway or green complex, defining the ideal approach angle.

A short par 4 that plays deceptively difficult due to its design rather than length, with an interesting dogleg or elevated green. Strategic bunkering or narrow fairway passages demand precision over power.

A short par 3 that is the easiest on the course and offers a reprieve with a modest yardage. The minimal hazard protection and accessible green make this a birdie opportunity if the tee shot is true.

A substantial par 5 with excellent scoring potential for those who navigate its length successfully. The hole likely features strategic water or bunkers that reward smart positioning over aggressive play.

A strong par 4 from the back tees that plays as a substantial test despite being only the sixth-hardest hole. Out-of-bounds or water along one side and bunkers near the green narrow the target zones significantly.

A mid-length par 3 with straightforward design but genuine challenge in its hazard placement or green complexity. Bunkers flanking the green or a narrow entrance require a committed, accurate tee shot.

A manageable par 4 where precision matters more than distance, with a fairway that likely plays narrower around the 200-yard mark. Greenside bunkers or water demand a well-struck approach to avoid trouble.

A mid-range par 4 with moderate length and difficulty, featuring an interesting fairway shape or strategic hazard placement. The approach shot is the deciding factor, with bunkers or water guarding one or both sides of the green.

The stroke-2 handicap and one of the course's toughest tests, a long par 5 that rewards strategic three-shot golf. Water, bunkers, or out-of-bounds likely define the fairway corridor, with a demanding green complex.

A strong par 4 that ranks among the top five hardest holes despite not being the longest. Hazards frame the fairway approach, and the green is well-defended, requiring two quality strikes to score well.

The easiest hole on the course, a short par 3 that provides a confidence-building opportunity in the round's closing stretch. The green is relatively accessible with minimal hazard protection, favoring aggressive play.

A short par 4 with deceptive difficulty, likely featuring an unusual shape or tight fairway corridor that plays harder than yardage suggests. Bunkers or water in strategic positions penalize anything other than controlled execution.

A substantial par 5 finish that presents a birdie opportunity for solid players while demanding respect for its length and complexity. Strategic hazards guide the two-shot approach to setting up the final stroke, rewarding proper course management throughout.
