The signature hole is #18, a 405-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot from off an elevated tee over water, then an approach shot to a well-bunkered green. On this hole, you hit over water from the tip of the bottom of an L-shaped severe dogleg right hole. You can cut off as much distance as you dare by hitting right and leaving a second shot approach closer to the green the farther right you hit. The classic risk-reward hole. The father to the right you hit, the more water you have to carry. get too greedy and you will be hitting three off the tee for your second shot.
Watch out for # 6, a 425-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 11, a 185 yard par-3.
