The first hole has a well guarded opening green, with pot bunkers front and middle.
Beware the water off to the right.
A generous fairway allows you to open the shoulders for the first shot of the day. Water and fairway bunkers narrow the landing area here on the 8th hole were laying up short of these bunkers still gives you a chance of attacking the pin.
A large uphill fairway on the 9th holel eads to an elevated green. Beware of the severe slopes and bunkers, making this a particularly tricky green. At the turn the 10th hole is a long par four with the landing zone guarded on both sides by water. Bunkers protect the left of the green and a severe slope waits to gather all balls hit to the right.
The tricky 15th hole, Par 3, were water cuts in on your right, sand waiting on your left. The green is the only place to be on this hole. The 16th hole is a long and testing par 5 with a heavily guarded layup area. A solid second is required before your next shot to a tricky sloping green. The 18th hole presents a grand finish were large trees force you to play right of this hole. The final green is guarded by bunkers and slopes waiting to devour any tired, final shots.
