Some of its best holes come early, first of all at the all-carry 170-yard 4th (whose shallow green angles around the corner of a pond), then especially at the 430-yard 5th, which plays from an elevated tee to another waterside putting surface. The 212-yard 8th features some imposing bulkheading of its pond-guarded green.

Play moves to a back nine headed by strong par fours like the 427-yard 13th (a dogleg left around a massive waste area), and the 449-yard 17th, which is menaced by water down its entire right side. And then there is the 566-yard 18th, a dangerous par five with more right-side water, but also a large waste area precisely where one would like to aim their second.”
