A straightforward opening par 4 with a fairway that gradually narrows as it approaches the green. Bunkers protect the right side of the putting surface, while the left offers a safer bailout area for positioning the approach shot.

A short par 4 that rewards accuracy over distance, with a tight fairway corridor framed by hazards on both sides. The green sits elevated and is well-bunkered, demanding a precise second shot to find the putting surface.

A mid-length par 4 with a slight dogleg character and strategic bunkering throughout the hole. The approach to the green requires careful navigation as bunkers frame both sides of the entrance to the putting surface.

A short one-shot hole with a narrow, well-defended green surrounded by bunkers. The putting surface is elevated and relatively small, making precision essential from the tee box.

The course's signature par 4 and a true test of shot-making with length and complexity. Water and hazards come into play on the right side, while strategic bunkering frames the fairway and green approach.

A mid-length par 3 with a well-bunkered green that demands an accurate tee shot. The putting surface is moderately sized and slopes in multiple directions, making club selection and aim critical from the tee.

The signature par 5 that plays as the most difficult hole on the course, requiring length and precision across multiple shots. The fairway narrows in the landing areas, and bunkers strategically guard both the lay-up zone and the approach to the green.

A compact par 4 with a narrow, undulating fairway that rewards straight driving. The green is tightly bunkered and sits back from the fairway, making the approach shot equally demanding as the drive.

A mid-length par 4 with character created by its sloped fairway and strategically placed bunkers. The approach to the green requires navigating hazards on the left, while the putting surface itself features notable contouring.

A solid par 4 that plays straightforward but features bunkering that frames the fairway corridor. The green approach requires accuracy as bunkers guard the entrance, and the putting surface offers modest size with subtle breaks.

A short par 4 designed to be accessible off the tee but deceptive in its approach. Bunkers guard the near side and right of the green, creating an angular challenge to reach the putting surface.

A mid-to-long par 4 with a fairway that requires navigating strategic bunkering throughout the hole. The green sits protected by bunkers on both sides, and its modest size demands precision on the approach shot.

A challenging mid-length par 3 with a small, well-defended green surrounded by bunkers. The putting surface features significant slope and contour, and the lack of generous bailout areas makes this a true one-shot test.

A dramatic par 4 with a dogleg character and strategic hazards that come into play throughout the hole. Bunkers frame the fairway corridor and surround the green, making both the drive and approach require careful execution.

A long par 5 that plays as the second-hardest hole on the course, presenting length as the primary challenge. The fairway is relatively open off the tee but tightens as it approaches the green, where bunkers guard the sides of the putting surface.

The shortest hole on the course, playing as a straightforward short par 3 with a small, relatively unguarded green. The simplicity of the setup belies the importance of precise distance control and placement from the tee.

A mid-length par 4 with a fairway that bends gently and narrows as it approaches the green. Bunkers frame the right side of the approach, while the green's compact size and slope demand an accurate second shot.

A classic finishing par 4 that presents a formidable challenge with its length and strategic bunkering. The fairway corridors narrow progressively, and the green is well-protected by bunkers on both sides, requiring a strong finishing shot to close the round.
