  • 378 Yards / Par 4
  • 352 Yards / Par 352

  • 401 Yards / Par 4
  • 376 Yards / Par 376

  • 475 Yards / Par 5
  • 437 Yards / Par 437

  • 475 Yards / Par 5

  • 390 Yards / Par 4
  • 366 Yards / Par 366

Hole 13

  • 383 Yards / Par 4
  • 383 Yards / Par 4
  • 353 Yards / Par 353

  • 476 Yards / Par 5
  • 442 Yards / Par 442

Hole 16

  • 368 Yards / Par 4
  • 368 Yards / Par 4
  • 347 Yards / Par 347

A sharp right to left dog leg. The ideal tee shot would hug the right hand side but avoid the bunker on the corner. This should leave a shot of around 150 yards to a flattish green that can yield a good opportunity of a one putt.

Hole 17

  • 155 Yards / Par 3
  • 155 Yards / Par 3
  • 144 Yards / Par 144
