Hole #1

Hole #1

Par 4

Blue Tee

337 Yards

We begin the journey here at Hole Number One — a par four measuring 337 yards.

From the tee, the eye is immediately drawn down the left side, where a penalty area waits patiently for any ball that turns over just a bit too eagerly. Two bunkers guard the right side, positioned precisely where a confident tee shot may drift.  

The approach is one of delicate judgment. The green is beautifully framed — a bunker protecting the front left, another lurking just over the back. And here’s the gentle reminder: long and right is simply not the place to be. Recovery from there asks far more than most would like to give so early in the round. 

Hole #2

Par 4

Blue Tee

425 Yards

Hole #2 is widely regarded as the hardest hole on the course, a demanding 425-yard par 4 that tests precision, distance control from tee to green.

Off the tee, accuracy is critical. The left side is heavily penalized, bringing significant trouble into play for any drive that drifts offline. Players must favor a controlled shot to the safer side of the fairway to avoid costly mistakes and secure a clean angle into the green.

The challenge intensifies on the approach. Players face a carry over water, demanding both commitment and precise yardage control. The green itself offers little relief. It is well-guarded by deep bunkers on both the left and right sides, punishing any approach that misses its target.

With trouble on the drive, water on the approach, and heavily protected putting surfaces, Hole #2 is a true test of championship-caliber golf — where par feels like a birdie.

Hole #3

Par 3

Blue Tee

189 Yards

A challenging par 3 awaits, demanding both precision and nerve. The tee shot must carry a stretch of water that guards the entire front of the hole, leaving no room for hesitation. Beyond, an undulating green presents a subtle test of touch and placement, with slopes that can easily turn a good shot into a tricky putt. Flanking the entrance are bunkers front left and front right, ready to punish anything that strays off line. It’s a hole where commitment is key and accuracy is rewarded.

Hole #4

Par 5

Blue Tee

500 Yards

A demanding par 5 stretches out ahead, framed by penalty areas that run relentlessly along both the right and left sides, placing a premium on accuracy from the very first shot. The fairway is punctuated by strategically positioned bunkers, perfectly placed to challenge both the tee shot and the layup, forcing players to think carefully about club selection and positioning.

For those looking to reach in three—or even take on the riskier approach in two—precision remains critical. The approach shot is no less exacting, as the green is tightly defended by water along the right side, ready to collect anything pushed too far, while bunkers guard the front and left, punishing shots that come up short or drift offline. It’s a true risk-reward hole where smart course management can make the difference between a birdie opportunity and a costly mistake.

Hole #5

Par 4

Blue Tee

434 Yards

A formidable par 4 that bends sharply left in a pronounced dog-leg, demanding both strategy and control from the tee. The aggressive line may be tempting, but anything pulled too far risks finding out-of-bounds along the entire left side, making placement off the tee absolutely critical. Most players will opt for a safer shot out to the right, leaving a longer but more manageable approach into the green.

The challenge doesn’t end there. The approach requires precision, as missing in the wrong spot can quickly lead to trouble. Green-side bunkers on the right and over the back are particularly punishing, leaving a difficult up-and-down for par. With limited margin for error and trouble lurking at every turn, this hole rewards discipline and well-executed shots from start to finish.

Hole #6

Par 3

Blue Tee

172 Yards

A striking par 3 stands before you, demanding a confident, well-struck tee shot. The hole requires a full carry over water that guards the entire approach, leaving no safe bailout short. Beyond the hazard lies a large green, but don’t be fooled by its size—precision is everything here.

Bunkers sit front left and front right, ready to catch anything that drifts offline or comes up just short of the target. While the putting surface offers ample space, finding the right section is key to setting up a makeable putt. This is a hole where a pure shot is a must—anything less risks turning a straightforward par into a struggle.

Hole #7

Par 5

Blue Tee

487 Yards

A bold and dramatic par 5 that presents itself, offering both opportunity and danger at every turn. The tee shot must carry water, immediately putting pressure on the drive, while out-of-bounds and additional penalty areas line the left side, ready to punish anything overly aggressive or pulled off line.

For long hitters, the hole tempts with a chance to reach the green in two, but that decision comes with significant risk. The further you advance, the more precise you must be. The green complex is heavily fortified, with water guarding the left side, right side, and even lurking over the back—leaving very little margin for error. Bunkers are scattered around the putting surface, adding another layer of defense for any shot that doesn’t find its target.

This is a classic risk-reward hole: play it safe with smart positioning and set up a comfortable third shot, or take it on with power and precision for a chance at eagle—knowing that anything less than a committed, accurate strike can quickly lead to trouble.

Hole #8

Par 4

Blue Tee

389 Yards

A straightforward par 4 that stretches out ahead, offering a clean, no-nonsense look from tee to green. The hole plays straight away, inviting a confident drive, though a penalty area sits far left to catch any wayward shots that stray too far offline.

From the fairway, the approach is simple in appearance but still demands awareness. The large green provides a generous target, but a deep pot bunker guards the front, ready to punish anything left short. Players are better off taking an extra club and favoring a longer approach, as going long leaves a far easier recovery than finding the sand.

It’s a hole that doesn’t try to trick you—but it still rewards smart decision-making and solid execution.

Hole #9

Par 4

Blue Tee

394 Yards

A demanding par 4 plays straight ahead, but it quickly reveals its teeth. A penalty area runs along the left side, placing immediate pressure on the tee shot, while well-positioned bunkers on both the left and right come into play, narrowing the landing zone and forcing a precise drive.

From the fairway, the challenge intensifies. The approach is to a narrow green that offers little margin for error. A deep pot bunker sits directly in front, ready to swallow any shot that comes up short, while water lurks just over the back, punishing anything struck too firmly.

It’s a hole that requires exact distance control and accuracy—threading the needle from tee to green is the only way to set up a realistic chance at par.

Hole #10

Par 4

Blue Tee

398 Yards

A solid, no-frills par 4 plays straight away, but accuracy is essential from the outset. Out-of-bounds lines the entire left side, while a penalty area flanks the right, creating a narrow corridor that demands a well-controlled tee shot. A fairway bunker sits in a key landing area, coming into play off the tee and forcing players to carefully choose their line and club.

The approach shot presents the hole’s defining challenge. A creek must be carried to reach the green, placing a premium on both distance and commitment. Once over the water, the green is well protected, with bunkers guarding the left side and lurking over the back to catch anything that’s misjudged.

It’s a hole that rewards precision and confident execution—any lapse in focus can quickly turn a routine par into a tough scramble.

Hole #11

Par 5

Blue Tee

532 Yards

A strong par 5 bends left in a sweeping dog-leg, presenting both opportunity and risk from the very first shot. Penalty areas line both sides of the hole, narrowing the effective landing zone, while a fairway bunker on the left sits ready to collect any drive that’s overcooked trying to cut the corner.

The second shot is a true positional test. Strategically placed fairway bunkers must be carried or carefully avoided, forcing players to decide between laying up short or taking them on to gain a better angle into the green.

The final approach is where the hole truly bares its teeth. A lake guards the front, accompanied by a bunker that sits directly in the line of play, demanding a committed, well-struck shot to reach the putting surface safely. It’s a classic three-shotter for most, but one that rewards smart planning and precise execution at every stage.

Hole #12

Par 3

Blue Tee

153 Yards

A clean and straightforward par 3 greets you, offering a clear view from tee to green but still demanding solid execution. The tee shot must carry a pond that stretches across the front, requiring a confident strike with no room for indecision.

Beyond the water lies a large green that provides a generous target, but it’s not without its defenses. Bunkers positioned front left and front right guard the entrance, ready to catch any shot that drifts off line or comes up just short.

While the hole appears simple, it still asks for a committed swing and good distance control—get it right, and you’ll have a great look at birdie; miss slightly, and you could be scrambling for par.

Hole #13

Par 4

Blue Tee

439 Yards

A long par 4 unfolds with a gentle uphill climb and a subtle dog-leg left, demanding both power and precision from the tee. The hole tightens its grip quickly, as a penalty area and well-placed bunkers come into play off the tee, forcing players to shape their drive carefully to find the ideal position in the fairway.

The uphill nature of the approach adds to the difficulty, often leaving a longer club into a well-protected green. The putting surface is guarded by a deep greenside bunker that can quickly turn a slightly missed shot into a demanding recovery.
Given the length, elevation, and hazards throughout, even a par here feels well earned—a strong result that reflects disciplined strategy and solid ball striking from start to finish.

Hole #14

Par 4

Blue Tee

331 Yards

A challenging par 4 begins with a severe dog-leg right that immediately demands a thoughtful tee shot. The right side is fully protected by a penalty area, punishing anything that leaks too far in that direction, while trees tightly line both sides of the fairway, creating a narrow visual and strategic corridor off the tee.

Positioning is everything here—the ideal drive is one that shapes with the hole’s bend or safely finds the corner, setting up a clear view into the green. Once the tee shot is navigated successfully, the hole softens considerably. The approach plays into a wide-open green that offers plenty of room for error, rewarding those who successfully manage the difficult driving hole.

It’s a classic contrast hole: a demanding, precision-heavy tee shot followed by a more forgiving second shot, where smart positioning off the tee is the key to scoring well.

Hole #15

Par 3

Blue Tee

203 Yards

A long par 3 stretches straight ahead, offering a clear but demanding test from the tee. The distance alone requires a committed strike, and while the target is visible, precision is still essential to avoid trouble.

The green is large, but far from simple. Bunkers guard the front right and left sides, narrowing the effective landing area and punishing anything slightly offline or short. To add to the challenge, bunkers also sit over the back, turning an overcooked approach into a difficult up-and-down.

It’s a hole that rewards a pure, well-controlled shot—find the surface in regulation, and you’ve done well; miss by a fraction, and the surrounding sand quickly comes into play.

Hole #16

Par 4

Blue Tee

389 Yards

A thoughtful par 4 bends gently to the right, shaped and defined by large trees lining both sides of the hole. They frame the corridor off the tee, reinforcing the dog-leg and demanding accuracy and commitment to the intended shape of the drive.

Penalty areas sit beyond the tree lines on both the left and right, adding further consequence to any shot that strays too far offline. The tee shot is all about positioning—find the proper side of the fairway, and the hole opens up; miss your line, and recovery becomes significantly more difficult.

Once in position, the hole eases slightly on the approach. A large, inviting green awaits, offering a generous target that rewards a steady swing. It’s a design that asks for precision off the tee but provides a more forgiving finish, rewarding players who navigate the shaping and penalty areas early in the hole.

Hole #17

Par 4

Blue Tee

427 Yards

A long, demanding par 4 stretches out ahead, framed tightly by penalty areas on both the left and right that leave little room for error from the tee. The hole immediately asks for commitment and control, as anything drifting offline is quickly punished.

In the heart of the landing zone, a centrally placed fairway bunker stands ready to collect imperfect tee shots, forcing players to either challenge it with a strong drive or lay back and accept a longer approach. There’s no easy route—positioning is everything, and even a well-struck drive still leaves work to do.

The second shot is a true test of strength and precision. A long, accurate approach is required to find the green in regulation, with little room for error given the hole’s overall length and demanding setup. Reaching the putting surface in two good shots is a genuine achievement here, and even a par feels well-earned. On a hole of this caliber, a four is an excellent score.

Hole #18

Par 5

Blue Tee

503 Yards

The closing hole is a dramatic par 5 that demands both nerve and precision, a fitting finish to the round. From the tee, penalty areas stretch down both the left and right sides, framing a narrow corridor that leaves little margin for error. To further tighten the challenge, bunkers sit left and right in the landing zone, ready to gather any tee shot that drifts even slightly off line.

A well-placed drive is only the beginning. The second shot is all about position, setting up the correct angle and distance for a demanding final approach. Anything out of place will leave a far more difficult decision for the third shot.

The approach is where the hole reaches its peak intensity. A semi-island green awaits, surrounded by water that demands a committed carry, with a deep pot bunker carved into the front as an added layer of defense. The target is visually striking but unforgiving—precision is absolutely essential, as anything short, offline, or misjudged in distance is quickly punished.

It’s a true finishing test: strategic off the tee, disciplined on the second, and utterly precise into the green. A birdie is possible, but only for those who execute every shot under pressure.
