Hole 1
Par 4, 297 Yards
A rescue club/long iron to start. Beware the water that runs all the way up the left. From the fairway, you will have a short iron shot to the green.
Hole 2
Par 5, 575 Yards
A long par 5. Out of bounds on the left demands accuracy from the tee. Drive the ball to the right of the tree to open up the second shot.
Hole 3
Par 3, 197 Yards
A demanding tee shot. Aim for the left half of the green as anything drifting right will find water.
Hole 4
Par 4, 422 Yards
Bunkers left and right dominate the tee shot. Long hitters beware of running through the fairway. A long second shot awaits to a well-guarded green.
Hole 5
Par 4, 297 Yards
A drivable par 4. A shallow green that needs a precise second shot to get close to the pin.
Hole 6
Par 5, 469 Yards

Hole 7
Par 3, 198 Yards
Another great par 3, this time with water on the left and behind the green. Often a wood is required to reach the putting surface.
Hole 8
Par 5, 569 Yards
A gentle draw from the tee leaves you in the best position for the second shot. A well-guarded and sloping green often makes par a good score on this long par 5.

Par 3, 151 Yards
The shorter of the two par 3s that share a double green in front of the clubhouse.
Hole 10
Par 5, 488 Yards

A long tee shot at the left-hand green side bunker can set up a birdie chance. Anything right however, will find trouble.
Hole 16

Hole 17
