Par 3Par 4Par 5
Hole 1
364
yds ·White
A pond runs down the left and bunkers sit on both sides of the fairway. The small green is squeezed between the pond and two bunkers, so the approach is harder than the hole's length suggests.
Hole 2
547
yds ·White
The longest hole on the course, a par 5 of 630 yards from the back tees. Out of bounds runs along the trees on the left, with fairway bunkers right and a pond left. The fairway is wide and hilly and there are no greenside bunkers.
Hole 3
153
yds ·White
Out of bounds along the left trees and a small pond on the right. Four oversized bunkers surround a slightly elevated green.
Hole 4
412
yds ·White
Lateral hazards run along the trees on both sides and bunkers guard the landing area on the left. Four pot bunkers sit around the green on the right.
Hole 5
363
yds ·White
A pond pushes in from the left and out of bounds lies along the trees on the right. Four bunkers sit just off the fairway on the right, and the fairway narrows toward a slightly elevated green.
Hole 6
384
yds ·White
Water lines the left side, so the right side of the fairway gives more room off the tee. One fairway bunker is on the right and another sits short of the green, with a small collection area left of the green.
Hole 7
307
yds ·White
A shorter par 4 with a pond along the entire left side and little trouble to the right. The small green sits between the water and a pot bunker, with a bailout area to the right.
Hole 8
505
yds ·White
A lateral hazard runs along the trees on the left, with fairway bunkers on both sides. A hazard juts across most of the fairway short of the green, which is tucked in the back corner between that hazard and two pot bunkers.
Hole 9
136
yds ·White
A signature par 3 played over a pond to a double green. Besides the water in front, the only other trouble is a pot bunker at the back left.
Hole 10
385
yds ·White
Shares a fairway with the 18th, and driving left keeps you away from the out-of-bounds trees on the right. Two fairway bunkers sit on the left and a creek fronts the green before running into a pond on its left.
Hole 11
135
yds ·White
A lateral hazard runs along the trees on the left and two bunkers sit just right of the green.
Hole 12
473
yds ·White
Bunkers line the landing area on the right and a lateral hazard runs along the left trees. A creek fronts the green, which makes going for it in two a risk.
Hole 13
160
yds ·White
The green is wedged between a pond and an oversized bunker. The left side of the fairway is a bailout for anyone who would rather avoid the water.
Hole 14
552
yds ·White
A long par 5 with out of bounds down the left trees and a series of fairway bunkers in play. There are no greenside bunkers, but the oversized green slopes in two directions.
Hole 15
352
yds ·White
A creek runs the full length of the hole and splits the fairway. Longer hitters have more room by aiming right of the creek.
Hole 16
180
yds ·White
A par 3 to the most elevated green on the course. Bunkers start at the front right and wrap around the right side of the green.
Hole 17
376
yds ·White
A lateral hazard runs down the left and a fairway bunker sits on the right, with two more bunkers just in front of the green on the right. A long, narrow bunker is hidden around the back of the green.
Hole 18
547
yds ·White
A par 5 that shares a double fairway with the 10th. A lateral hazard runs down the right and two fairway bunkers sit on the left. A pond on the right comes into play and runs up alongside the double green.
