Par 3Par 4Par 5
Hole 1
351
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 436 yards. A wide fairway, with the center-left side avoiding the right-hand bunkers off the tee; the approach plays to a large green protected by deep sand.
Hole 2
128
yds ·White
Par 3 listed at 163 yards. A short hole to a well-shielded green surrounded by bunkers; missing short or wide right leaves a tricky up-and-down.
Hole 3
403
yds ·White
Par 5 listed at 493 yards and reachable for longer hitters. Native wetlands stretch along the right, so the tee shot favors the left; the green is defended by sand and subtle slopes.
Hole 4
323
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 407 yards. The green is wide and tiered, so the approach must find the correct tier to avoid a tough two-putt.
Hole 5
361
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 433 yards and one of the tougher par 4s on the front nine. The green slopes off into surrounding native areas, penalizing errant second shots.
Hole 6
316
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 371 yards. A shorter hole where fairway position matters more than distance, with a short-iron approach to a small green framed by bunkers.
Hole 7
478
yds ·White
Par 5 listed at 566 yards and played as a three-shot hole. Wetland hazard and heather line the fairway and guard the approach area, and a bunker fronts the green.
Hole 8
138
yds ·White
Par 3 listed at 192 yards. A long par 3 often affected by wind; anything short finds deep sand or native rough.
Hole 9
356
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 425 yards. The right side of the fairway opens the best angle, with the approach playing toward the clubhouse onto a contoured green.
Hole 10
428
yds ·White
Par 5 listed at 423 yards and reachable in two from a good tee shot. Bunkers frame the landing areas.
Hole 11
185
yds ·White
Par 3 listed at 167 yards. The green is guarded by sand and gentle slopes, and short-sided recovery shots are difficult.
Hole 12
278
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 280 yards. A risk-reward hole that long hitters can attack, with native hazards and bunkers punishing misses; a lay-up leaves a wedge in.
Hole 13
375
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 363 yards. A fairway wood or long iron off the tee sets up the approach, which must avoid the bunker front-left of the green.
Hole 14
328
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 327 yards. Heather and fairway bunkers line the right side, and a deep back bunker guards the green.
Hole 15
359
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 365 yards. A dogleg requiring a tee shot to the elbow of the fairway, with the approach carrying a small wetland or swale to an elevated green.
Hole 16
323
yds ·White
Par 4 listed at 323 yards. A tight hole bordered by natural wetlands, playing to a shallow, multi-tiered green.
Hole 17
146
yds ·White
Par 3 listed at 130 yards and described as the signature hole, visible from Five Mile Road. The tee shot plays entirely over water, with wind off the lake a factor.
Hole 18
472
yds ·White
Par 5 listed at 451 yards. The tee shot carries wetlands, and water and sand guard the final approach near the clubhouse terrace.
