Hole Length (Yards) Par Index Description
1 312 4 16 A short risk reward par 4. The green is drivable with a nice draw but beware the water that runs all the way up the left. An iron and a wedge might be the best play
2 591 5 4 A long par 5. Out of bounds left dominates the tee shot. Drive the ball to the right of the tree to open up the 2nd shot.
3 219 3 8 A demanding tee shot. Aim for left half of the green because anything drifting right will find water. A new tee box also offers a different angle.
4 442 4 2 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.
5 307 4 18 A drivable par 4. A very shallow green means the second shot needs to be very precise to get close.
6 479 5 14 A short par 5. A good drive leaves a long iron or wood 2nd shot to the green. Avoid the water on the left off the tee.
7 208 3 10 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.
8 596 5 6 A nice draw from the tee leaves you in the best position for your second shot. A well guarded and sloping green often makes par a good score on this long par 5.
9 173 3 12 The shorter of the two par threes that share the double green in front of the clubhouse.

10 521 5 11 A nice par 5. Water left and out of bounds right guard the tee shot. A long hitter can carry the road which sets up a great birdie chance.
11 158 3 15 A medium length par three surrounded by water and framed by a rock wall. Often looked on as the signature hole anything long or right will find water.
12 382 4 5 A straight away par 4. A good straight drive should leave a short approach and hopefully set up a birdie chance.
13 331 4 13 A short par 4 with water short that is hidden from the tee. The green is shallow and sloping from front to back which demands a precise second shot.
14 467 4 1 Index 1 and the longest par 4 on the course. Drive as close as possible to the bunkers to shorten the demanding 2nd shot.
15 350 4 17 A long tee shot at the left hand green side bunker can set up a birdie chance. Anything right however will find trouble.
16 506 5 7 The final real birdie chance of the round. Out of bounds right and a deep bunker on the left await any crooked tee shot. A long straight drive and a birdie awaits.
17 464 4 3 A fantastic long par 4 framed by the tree 50 yards short of the green. This holes demands two great shots to reach a well guarded green.
18 197 3 9 The longer of the two par threes that share our double green brings you to the finish. Beware the severity of the green which slopes from back to front.
