In addition to the ample distances, the course is not long, but when it is, the rough can be a challenge, and, above all, the greens and the areas around the greens are challenging and difficult. All in all, this is a challenging course with a high degree of difficulty.

Hole #1 <Par 4>There are many bunkers from the start. If you can carry about 230 yds, you can hit over the left bunker. Hole #2 <Par 3>Downhill but be careful not to hit over. There is a bunker at the back. If you want to miss, hit the front right. Hole #3 <Par 5> is a short long par 5. You need to clear the left side of the center pine tree. If you don't make it to the left side, the next 4 pines on the right will be in your way. If you can keep the left side, you can hit the green in 2. If you lay up in front of the bunker, the uphill will be difficult to see the green.The 5th hole <Par 5> is a long hole, but it is a par 4 in tournaments. It is short, but you should aim for the green in 3 because of a lake in front of the green. It is best to aim at the center from the right side of the two trees. Aim at the right side, but be careful not to hit into the bunker seen at the back right. It is best to use a club that is out of reach. Avoid the pond on the front left of the green, but the right side has an uneven mound for tournaments, so the lie is bad. The green here also cuts off contrary to its appearance. 7th hole <Par3>The wind is strong and the elevation is high, so choosing the right shot is important. There is a pond on the left side from front to back. There is a bunker on the back right. A conservative approach from the front right will lead to a good result.

9th hole <Par4> The tee shot is blind, but aim straight. The right side is better, but if the tee shot is too far forward, the trees on the left side will be stymied. The left side is stymied by trees and over a lake. The left side of the green is over the pond to the back of the two trees on the left edge of the green, so over the pond is strictly forbidden. If you hit short, the ball will roll down into the bunker in front of the green, which makes it very difficult.

The 10th hole <Par 4> A sharp dogleg to the right. It is easy to hit through or into the bunker at the back of the fairway. If you are a long hitter, you can take a shortcut by attacking the right corner.

Attack from the right side of the fairway. The green looks like it is on the receiving side, but it is the opposite of what it looks like. It is said to be the most illusionary hole. 11th hole <Par4>.

A dogleg to the left. Aim to the left side of the green in front of the tree. If you go to the right of the tree, the hole will roll down due to the slope. However, if you go too far left, you cannot aim at the green. The green is downhill, but it is surrounded by trees, bunkers and rough, so it is difficult to use the fairway. There is also a lay-up decision on the front left.

12th hole <Par4>. A long par 4 with a long uphill all the way to the green. It is not long, but if you hit into a bunker on the right, you will just have to hit out. You are tempted to hit a big second shot because of the uphill, but the approach from the back is fast. 14th hole <Par4>, The view from the tee shot is snaking and narrow. There are bunkers on both sides, especially the one on the right should be avoided as trees are also in the way. There is a deep bunker on the left front of the green like a cliff, which is also to be avoided.

15th hole <Par5>, Aim for the tree to the left of the bunker at the back right. There is a cart path and a shallow OB on the left, so you should play from the right side. The fairway is flat. If you can get between two trees safely, the green is very close, but you must not hit the bunkers on both sides of the green.

16th hole <Par3>, A slightly downhill hole over water. The green is shaped like the back of a horse with a low rim. 17th hole <Par5>, A dogleg to the right with a steep angle. If you can carry 250 yds, you can take a short cut to the right, but the risk is high because there are two bunkers in a row and OB is shallow on the right slope. The second shot is gently uphill. The green is very large and vertical. It is difficult to hit from the back.
