A relatively straight forward downhill Par 4 with a long waste bunker down the left side. A long drive placed left of centre will be rewarded by an open shot to a shallow green; if not, greenside bunkers and water to the left will provide for a challenging approach shot.

This long Par 3 plays over a deep bush and stream gully into a green well guarded by bunkers front left and back right. Multiple breaks on the green call for a deft putting touch.

Perhaps unreachable in two for most as the hole plays slightly uphill to a very elevated green. Strategically placed bunkers in both the landing and lay-up areas call for an accurate drive and second shot.

An interesting tee shot between a stand of mature pine trees followed by an approach shot over a deep gully to a natual green site. Not a hole to be short on if a very difficult recovery shot is to be avoided.

A very elevated tee for this long downhill par 4 with water in the play on the left hand side. The long sloping green is well guarded by water on the left and bunkers on the right. A well placed drive is essential to ensure a clear shot to the green.

A minimum 200 yard water carry is required for the drive on this Par 4. Extensive grassy mounds and bunkers guard the small and contoured green.

A slightly uphill Par 3 over a deep busty gully to a tiered green with gullies left and right. Mature trees on the left and right require accuracy off the tee.

A dog-leg Par 4 with bunkers on the right that can be carried by the longer hitter. The left side and rear of the green is heavily bunkered thereby rewarding the tee shot played over or close to the right hand side fairway bunkers.

This Par 5 dog-legs left and is reachable in two if the drive can carry the left fairway bunkers 230 yards out for the Pro Tee. A very challenging 2nd shot due to greenside bunkers on the right.

A dog-leg left Par 4 from an elevated and scenic tee. Length is not as important as position for a clear view of the green. Bunkers left and right surround a slightly crowned green that requires a gentle putting touch.

A downhill Par 3 with a spectacular ocean backdrop. Into the wind it may require a driver, on other days an easy iron into the deep humpback green. Extensive bunkering right and a very steep fall off slope to the back of the green creates several very challenging pin placements.

A waterfront Par 5, reachable in two if the extensive waste bunker on the left is to be taken on. An off-set green, narrow to the second shot but deep from the lay up position, further challenges the player who tries for the green in two.

Wind will be a major factor on this slight dog-leg Par 4. Spectacular coastal views may divert the golfers attention from the multi-tiered green. Left is not the place to go.

Another waterfront Par 4. The tee shot is over a deep gully into a very wide fairway, split in the centre by a fairway bunker 260 yards out. The narrower landing area on the left is bounded by water but offers a open approach shot to the elevated green bunkered on the left and right. Not an easy Par 4.

Also a waterfront hole. This Par 3 is the shortest on offer. It features a very shallow but extra wide green with bunkers front and rear. The difficult pin position is on the left with a steep fall off toward the ocean.

Perhaps another unreachable Par 5 due to the challenging approach shot over a stream and between mature pine trees, but not impossible under the right wind conditions. The deep green is split lengthwise by a ridge with two sets of left and right bunkers front and rear.

Second hardest hole on course. Take it easy and head straight for the green.

More or less a straight hole with water on the right and rear of the green. The wide green offers a very difficult pin placement on the right bringing the water into play. The 4m waterfall backdrop is spectacular.
