A straightforward par 4 opening hole with a wide fairway that gradually narrows as it approaches the green. Bunkers guard both sides of the green, requiring accuracy on the approach shot to avoid a difficult recovery.
A short par 3 that plays directly toward the green with minimal hazards, making it an inviting opening par 3. The relatively open approach makes this a good scoring opportunity on the front nine.
A solid par 4 with a fairly straightforward layout and a moderate-sized green complex. Fairway bunkers on the left side require attention off the tee, while the green itself is well-bunkered to challenge approach shots.
A mid-length par 3 with a green that demands accuracy from the tee. Water hazard left and bunkers right frame the green, making club selection and alignment critical on this well-protected short hole.

A commanding par 5 and one of the course's most significant tests, with length and strategic bunkering throughout the hole. Water hazard left must be respected on both the drive and second shot, while bunkers guard the right side of the fairway and frame the green.
A par 4 with a dogleg character and a fairway that bends through the middle of the hole. Bunkers strategically placed along the turn and near the green reward accurate tee shots and position-conscious play.
