Hole 1
Hole 1 Par 4 HCP 9
  • 423 Yards
  • 392 Yards
  • 378 Yards
  • 290 Yards
Although the landing area is very wide, the ideal drive is hit as close as possible to the two large fairway bunkers guarding the left side of the fairways. This will allow a straight shot into a very long green, with water to the right of and behind the green. "Safer" drives on the right side of the fairway will bring the water hazard guarding the green into play.

Hole 2
Hole 2 Par 3 HCP 13
  • 195 Yards
  • 170 Yards
  • 160 Yards
  • 146 Yards
The pin position on the huge (57 yards wide) green can change his hole from a very benign par 3 to a devilishly difficult one. A large variation of tee positions also creates various distances of water carry.

Hole 3
Hole 3 Par 4 HCP 5
  • 376 Yards
  • 323 Yards
  • 272 Yards
  • 247 Yards
imilar in topography to the Canyon Course's signature 13th, this hole features an even more intimidating tee shot, which must carry a huge water filled canyon, or thread a narrow gap between the two canyons guarding this fairway. The green is also perched on the canyon edge, creating the need for very accurate and prudent approach play.

Hole 4
Hole 4 Par 4 HCP 1
  • 434 Yards
  • 371 Yards
  • 356 Yards
  • 320 Yards
A very wide fairway gives the golfer some strategic choice on the tee shot. The safer "high road" to the left leaves a longer second shot over another sheer-sided canyon. The shorter "low road" to the right flirts with the same canyon, but rewards a good drive with a shorter second shot.

Hole 5
Hole 5 Par 4 HCP 11
  • 437 Yards
  • 385 Yards
  • 376 Yards
  • 320 Yards
Following two left to right dog-leg holes, the fifth hole quickly tests the player who can't control his hook. Another precipitous canyon sits from the corner of the dog-leg to the side of the green. Your choice is to play safe with a long iron off the tee or to shape the ball around the canyon enabling a short iron approach. Over-hit second shots find a steep drop behind the green, further rewarding a courageous tee shot.

Hole 6
Hole 6 Par 4 HCP 15
  • 382 Yards
  • 348 Yards
  • 325 Yards
  • 251 Yards
Water greets errant tee shots on the left and the right side of this shortest downhill par 4. An interesting feature is the "Pine Valley" style short and long fairway "islands" separated by a waste area. The successful risk taker off the tee will be looking for a birdie. But a strongly sloping back to front green requires accurate approach play from the more conservative player.

Hole 7
Hole 7 Par 4 HCP 7
  • 415 Yards
  • 377 Yards
  • 332 Yards
  • 267 Yards
Accurate drives will hug the canyon edge on the left of the fairway at this strong right to left par 4. The second shot will have to cross the canyon edge to an elevated green. Golfers playing from the safe right side must be wary of three fiendishly placed greenside bunkers.

Hole 8
Hole 8 Par 3 HCP 17
  • 219 Yards
  • 175 Yards
  • 157 Yards
  • 143 Yards
The most picturesque par 3 on the golf course. High teeing areas give a great view of this large green, beautifully framed by water and a bunker short and left and another bunker behind. Flowering Allemandes complete the backdrop. The green is subtly shaped to give very challenging tournament pin positions.

Hole 9
Hole 9 Par 5 HCP 3
  • 591 Yards
  • 568 Yards
  • 549 Yards
  • 475 Yards
The first of the par 5's. A straight forward drive gives the opportunity to "open up the shoulders". Only the longest hitters can consider taking on the waste area on the second shot to get home in two. Most will need a well placed second shot to avoid a large bunker at the left end of the dog-leg and a small stand of trees on the right. Three good shots will be needed for a birdie chance.
