The course has a few water hazards coming into play on every hole. The hilly back nine has narrow fairways, but the flat front nine is wide open.  

The signature hole is #7, a 525-yard, par 5, featuring a river which crosses the fairway in the landing area and requires an approach shot to a well-bunkered green framed with stone embankments.

Watch out for # 6, a 380-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 10, a 162 yard par-3.
