Currently, 9 holes are operational, playing as 18 with their twin flags and different tees. The back 9 is under construction and planned to open shortly
Hole 1
A good drive avoiding the out of bound on the right and the bunker on the left should set up a relatively small approach to the green. The green is multi-tiered and it is important to be on the right level for a chance at birdie.

Hole 3
A reachable par 4 if you can miss all the massive bunkers from the tee and the wind is on your back.The green is amongst the toughest of any hole on the course with bunkers surrounding it and a giant rise that guards the back hole locations. Do not be long on the approach especially to a back flag.

Hole 4
Our signature hole. With out of bounds on the right it is important to keep your drive on the left side of the fairway. The approach to the largest green on the course plays shorter than the yardage as it is downhill.

Hole 6
Beware of the bunkers and the out of bounds on both sides with the drive. Only the long hitters can think of reaching this green in two shots because of the water hazard short of the green. A flag on the right side of the green makes for an intimidating approach shot.

Hole 8
The toughest hole on the course. With Out of bounds on the right and water running along the left side, keeping the tee shot in play is of the highest priority. This leads to an even more challenging approach over the trees with anything left being in the water.

Hole 9
This straight forward Par 4 tends to play longer than its yardage due to the elevated green. Beware of the Out of Bounds on the right from the tee. The green has two levels and a two putt cannot be taken for granted if the approach is on the wrong level.
