The remaining holes continue to offer a mix of lengths and challenges, with yardages ranging from 249 yards on the Red tees for the 1st hole to 531 yards on the Blue tees for the 18th hole. Spring brings approximately 1,000 cherry trees into bloom, adding to the course's visual appeal. The design emphasizes the natural terrain, with each hole taking advantage of the existing landscape to create a distinct playing experience. The combination of wide fairways and challenging hazards ensures that the course remains engaging for both casual players and those seeking a more rigorous test of golf.
