The first hole is a 405-yard par 4 described as a relatively flat middle hole that demands accuracy off the tee to avoid left-side bunkers. The eleventh hole stands out as a 525-yard par 5 that requires a tee shot over a valley, with the fairway rising slightly. The fifteenth hole is a 166-yard par 3 that crosses a valley, noted for its frequently changing wind conditions that can affect shot direction and distance.

Short holes provide variety, including the thirteenth at 224 yards and the fifteenth at 166 yards.
