The last 3 holes are the most interesting ones
- The long Par 5 7th is a sharp dog leg to the left surrounding the practice ground with a dangerous out of bounds on the left
- The Par 3 8th has an elevated tee dominating a well-protected green (water in front, out of bounds, trees and more water at the back)
- The 9th is a sharp right dog leg with an uphill tee shot.
