#1 is a 380-yard par-4 with a lake to the right. The fairway is heavily bunkered on the left side and next to the green.

#2 is a 400-yard par-4. W, waterfalls start to the left of the elevated tee area and run down under the trees and into the lake.

#3, a par-5 has a reachable in two, heavily bunkered green. This hole has a split fairway here with left and right landing areas next to the central bunker area. You have a risk-reward shot as you approach the green. You can risk going over the bunkers and making the green in two or taking a safer route to the right or left. If you attempt to fly over the bunkers, accuracy is paramount.

#6 is a strategic par-5 (530 yards from the back tees) that requires three shots to get to the green. You can't take any shortcuts here. The green has a false front that can cause a ball to roll back down that front.

#8, a 420 yard par-4 has an elevated tee box. You're firing downhill to a fairway with bunkers on the right and left. 

#9 is a very 490-yard par 4 from the back tees and 320 yards from the forward trees. 

#13, a 180 yard par-3 is dramatic with huge bunkers surrounding an elevated green. 

You'll need a long tee shot to carry a ravine off the tee at No. 14, a great par-5 that plays at 550 yards from the back tees. Your second shot needs more precision than length due to the great number of quartz boulders left on this hole. The green rests on a ledge with rock outcroppings on the left. The green is heavily bunkered as well. You have to fly the ball to the green.

#18 is a tough, long par-5 - 620 yards from the back tees with a natural waste area to the left and you have to hit your ball over a ravine to reach the green. It takes three quality shots to make it to the green in regulation.
