A lengthy par 5 with a relatively open fairway that offers multiple routes to the green. The hole's length and straightforward design make it a birdie opportunity for longer hitters, though precise approach shot placement is essential to avoid missing the putting surface.

A demanding par 4 and the course's first handicap hole, stretching across significant yardage with a fairway that requires accuracy off the tee. Strategic hazards frame the approach, making this a stern test of overall ball-striking.

A shorter par 4 with character, featuring a fairway that plays narrower than it appears from the tee. The reduced distance is offset by the need for precision, as the confined landing area and green complex demand controlled approach play.

A short but demanding par 3 with a target green that demands precision over distance. Bunkers and surrounding hazards make this a deceptive one-shotter that can prove costly if the tee shot strays.

A mid-length par 4 with a fairway that flows relatively straightforward to the green. The hole's challenge lies in maintaining accuracy throughout the approach sequence, with strategic positioning off the tee essential for a clear second shot.

A brief par 3 that appears manageable but carries significant penal character around the green. The small target demands a quality tee shot despite the modest yardage.

A short par 4 with a compact fairway and green complex that rewards precision over power. The hole's modest length belies the accuracy required to avoid trouble surrounding both landing area and putting surface.

A short par 4 with a tightened fairway approach that demands accuracy off the tee. Strategic bunkering and green-side hazards elevate the challenge despite the reduced yardage.

A mid-length par 4 with a fairway that narrows as it approaches the green, placing emphasis on accuracy in the approach zone. Strategic bunkering guards the final approach and putting surface.

A strong par 4 and one of the course's most demanding holes, requiring accurate driving and a precise approach to a well-protected green. The fairway funnel effect and hazard placement make this a comprehensive test.

A short par 3 that appears straightforward but carries penal consequences around the green. The modest yardage masks the importance of finding the center of the putting surface.

A powerful par 4 and the course's second-toughest hole, demanding length and accuracy through a well-defined challenge corridor. Strategic hazards and green-side bunkering create a formidable finishing hole on the front.

A brief par 3 that plays deceptively short, with a green surrounded by hazards that punish imprecision. The narrow target makes this a significant one-shot challenge.

An extended par 5 with a fairway that offers strategic width but demands control to avoid perimeter hazards and set up a manageable approach. The length and hazard placement combine to create a strong back-nine challenge.

A formidable finishing par 4 and one of the course's four toughest holes, requiring sustained accuracy and distance to navigate through to a well-defended green. The closing nature and comprehensive challenge make this a memorable conclusion.
