Notes

The tee shot contends with a prevailing wind into a rightward bending fairway. Bunkers guard the front of a green that slopes backwards.

4
Opening shots must carry the bunkers on the corner of the dogleg at 280 yards. The undulating green is flanked by grassy hollows.
3

Club selection is crucial at the first par 3. The hole's two-tiered green is long, narrow and surrounded by mounds, hollows and thick rough.

In this dogleg left, a large stretch of dead ground lies a ways before the green. The green is free of bunkers.

In this dogleg left, a large stretch of dead ground lies a ways before the green. The green is free of bunkers.

Deep bunkers border the green on all sides in this par 3. Its sheltered location alters the effect of the wind.

5
A slight dogleg left, this par 5 offers a good birdie opportunity. A good drive will leave a manageable second to the green.
8
455
4
Two new fairway bunkers have been added to this dogleg right par 4. They will be a factor as it guards the best line of approach.
9

4
Bunkers lie square in the fairway in this very short par 4 -- punishing those who get too greedy. A good drive will leave another good birdie chance.

In an otherwise straight par 4, the tee box has been shifted to the left. The narrow green drops sharply on all sides.
11

Wind will frequently be a factor on this par 3, on which the green is well fortified by five bunkers.
12
380
4
Another short par 4 that bends to the right. Most will want to play long-iron off the tee.
13
459
4
The tee has been moved back and to the right, making for a straight tee shot. The green features a ridge runs front to back.
14
551
5
A canal crosses the narrow fairway at 332 yards out. With the prevailing wind against, this hole can be a true test.
15
478
4
Adverse wind can make this par 4 play much longer. Approach shots are threatened by three crossing bunkers in front of the green.
16
163
3
The green in this short par 3 is encircled by eight bunkers. Wind, therefore, is a major factor.
17
425
4
The undulating terrain of the fairway add a dimension of difficulty to second shots. The green is wide but not at all deep.
18
468
4
The left side of the fairway is ideal for tee shots. This sets up an approach to a green guarded by a bunker to the right and a grassy hollow to the left.
