A long par 5 with a relatively straightforward layout offering multiple routes to the green. The fairway is open off the tee, though the approach becomes more demanding as the hole plays uphill toward a well-bunkered green.

A short par 4 that plays downhill from an elevated tee toward a tight green. The compact length belies the precision required, as bunkers frame the green and the fairway narrows considerably on approach.

A modest par 4 with a relatively open fairway that allows aggressive play off the tee. The green sits elevated and is guarded by strategic bunkering, making the approach shot the critical element of the hole.

One of the course's most demanding par 4s, playing into the wind with length and hazards demanding respect. Water and bunkers tighten around the green, which is perched in a challenging position that offers little margin for error.

The stroke index 1 hole, a formidable par 4 that stretches considerably from the back tees and plays uphill throughout. Hazards pinch the landing area and surround the elevated green, making this one of Shoreacres' sternest tests.

A short par 3 with a direct shot to the green across open ground. Though modest in length, precise placement is essential as bunkers guard the sides and the green offers limited bail-out area.

A strong par 4 that doglegs or bends slightly through a narrowing corridor toward an elevated green. The approach is particularly demanding, with water and sand creating a tight target zone that punishes anything offline.

The shortest hole on the course, a par 3 played to an intimate green surrounded by bunkers and rough terrain. The simplicity of length is offset by the precision demanded in club selection and accuracy.

A solid par 4 with a fairway that widens in the landing area before tightening near the green. Hazards frame both sides of the approach, and the green's slope demands a well-struck second shot.

A strong par 4 and the second-hardest hole on the course, playing into prevailing conditions with bunkers and water creating a gauntlet down the fairway. The green sits at the end of a narrowing passage, leaving little room for recovery.

A shorter par 4 that can be driven aggressively by longer hitters, though bunkers and hazards guard the green. The hole's appeal lies in the strategic options it presents off the tee and the varied approaches to the putting surface.

The shortest hole at Shoreacres, a par 3 requiring minimal distance but maximum accuracy to a small, well-bunkered green. Wind and the confined nature of the target make this a deceptive test despite its modest yardage.

A straightforward par 4 with a fair fairway that is relatively open off the tee. Bunkers frame the green and the landing area, requiring solid iron play to find the putting surface in regulation.

A short par 3 with options in how to approach the green from different elevations. Bunkers are positioned to catch errant shots, and the green's contours add complexity to what appears a simple one-shot hole.

A picturesque par 5 that bends and offers multiple routing possibilities depending on length off the tee. Water and strategic bunkering shape the hole, and the three-shot approach to the green rewards accuracy over pure distance.

A dramatic par 4 ranking among the course's most difficult, with water, bunkers, and rough terrain creating a challenging passage to the green. The approach is particularly stern, with little forgiveness around the putting surface.

A shorter par 4 with a fairly open fairway that allows birdie opportunities for solid ball-strikers. Bunkers and hazards tighten around the green, and the approach shot determines the outcome of the hole.

A strong finishing par 5 that plays significantly in length from the back tees and offers a dramatic conclusion to the round. Water, bunkers, and the hole's length create a fitting final test, rewarding the aggressive or punishing the careless approach.
