Hole 1 · Par 4
Opening par 4 that bends gently right, with water down both sides, a fairway bunker on the right and bunkers left of the green.
Drive just right of the fairway bunker and take care with club choice into the raised green.
Hole 2 · Par 4
Short par 4 with water along both sides, a bunker on the right of the fairway and bunkers short-right and behind the green.
Favour the left half off the tee to bring the green-front bunker out of play.
Hole 3 · Par 4
Long, slightly curving par 4 with water on both sides, bunkers on both edges of the fairway and bunkers around a wide green.
Aim at the right edge of the left fairway bunker; distance control matters on the approach.
Hole 4 · Par 3
Par 3 played over water to a large, contoured green, with water wrapping the left and back and bunkers on the left side.
Aim for the middle of the green whatever the pin; the contours do the rest.
Hole 5 · Par 4
Straight par 4 with a line of four bunkers down the right of the fairway, and water on both sides of the fairway.
Play safe away from the right-hand bunkers; the right side of the green is more forgiving.
Hole 6 · Par 5
Long par 5 heading up and left from the tee, with bunkers along the fairway, water on the right and a small green ringed by bunkers.
Drive between the two fairway bunkers to leave a comfortable lay-up.
Hole 7 · Par 3
Short par 3 to a green with bunkers on both sides and one short in the approach, with water behind the green and to the right.
Players often miss left into the bunker; there is room between the right edge and the water.
Hole 8 · Par 4
Short par 4 with water from the tee and along the left the whole way, a long hazard on the right and a green guarded by a bunker at the front.
Clear the water off the tee and judge the approach carefully; it is the stroke index 1 hole.
Hole 9 · Par 5
Par 5 with water down both sides, fairway bunkers left and right, and water crossing in front of a green surrounded by bunkers.
Keep away from the left fairway bunker; aim at the right one off the tee.
Hole 10 · Par 4
Par 4 of moderate length with water down the right, two fairway bunkers in the middle and a bunker left of the green.
Aim left of the bunker off the tee and use a short iron into the tricky green.
Hole 11 · Par 5
Par 5 bending right around water, with a tree line on the right corner, bunkers along the fairway and beside the green.
Resist cutting the corner right; long hitters may reach in two.
Hole 12 · Par 4
Par 4 with two fairways split by a stand of trees, water short of the fairway and down the right, and no bunkers.
The right fairway is shorter but brings the water into play; go left for a left pin.
Hole 13 · Par 3
Par 3 to a long green with a large bunker down its left side and water to the right of the tee shot and behind the green.
Club choice varies with the pin; bailing out right brings the water in.
Hole 14 · Par 4
Long par 4 with water down both sides, a fairway bunker on the left, a pond crossing the fairway short of the green and two bunkers at the front.
Drive right of the fairway bunker and judge the distance to the pond carefully.
Hole 15 · Par 4
Short par 4 with water along both sides, a ridged fairway bunker in the landing area and bunkers around the green.
Lay up short of the fairway bunker and play a short iron in.
Hole 16 · Par 3
Par 3 played across a lake to a green set to the left of the tees, with bunkers short and behind the green.
The green looks wide from the back tees and narrow from the forward tees; aim at the centre.
Hole 17 · Par 5
Long par 5 with water down the left, bunkers in the middle of the fairway and a creek crossing twice in front of the green.
Lay up short of the creek and keep clear of the narrow strip of fairway near it.
Hole 18 · Par 4
Mid-length par 4 with water down both sides and wrapping the left of the green, fairway bunkers in the landing area and bunkers right of the green.
Aim right of the pin; the green slopes towards the water on the left.
