| An almost straight hole. Pay attention to a pond which is
placed 260 yards on the right from the tee. A creek crosses the fairway
some 50 yards in front of the green that is swung to the right. Long hitters
need to make a decision whether they lay up in front of the creek or go
for the green in two shots. |

A downhill, dogleg to the left. A big drive is reachable to a lake 280 yards
off the tee. The second shot is hit onto an island green. The green is also
protected by bunkers on both sides. |
| |
|
|
| A downhill all the way, a slightly dogleg to the right followed
by a dogleg to the left par 5. It plays much shorter than yardage. Long
hitters need to make a decision whether they cut over the water or take
the safe route to the right. The green is deep and slopes from back to font.

|
| A strong dogleg to the right, very long par 4. A carry of
260 yards is needed to clear the lake. You can take the safe route to the
left, which leaves a very long, tough second shot. The second shot is a
little uphill. The green is deep and slopes slightly from back to front.
A large bunker on the left protects the green well. |

A beautiful par 3 over water. The green is protected by a large bunker in
the front. The green greatly slopes from back to front. |
| |
|
|
| A signature hole & a downhill, long par 3. Water with
3 directions except for the left surrounds the green that is double-tiered
and is not wide. The waterfall left of the green doesn’t come into play
but enhances the beauty of this good par 3. |

A straight and uphill hole hitting toward a mountain. This hole plays longer
that the yardage. The fairway is generous off the tee. The second shot is
demanding and requires both distance and accuracy. You must take one extra
club and avoid a deep bunker on the right and the swale on the left of the
green. |
| |
|
|
|
A par 3 over a large lake. The entire left side of the green is guarded
by a long bunker. If the pin is back left, it will be demanding.
