There are 36 holes including the CD Course. The CD Course is a little shorter but water comes into play on 15 out of 18 holes, so the best strategy is accuracy rather than power play. The AB is more orthodox and longer with a little wider fairways and strategically placed water hazards. Most greens are small requiring accurate approach shots. Overall, it has a challenging layout.

A slight dogleg to the left. Waters on both sides and bunkers come into play on the tee and second shots. The green is small and shallow.

An almost straight hole with water on the left. Bunkering on the fairway is superb.
 
7th　Par 4　428 yards

A straight hole lined with palm trees. A pond on the left of the fairway is beautiful. The green seen from 5th hole over the lake is picturesque.

11th　Par 5　525 yards
A slight dogleg to the left. Lakes on both sides come into play off the tee. For longer drives, the narrower the landing area becomes as it is greatly squeezed by lakes on both sides. A long hitter can reach the green in 2, but unless he hits a precise drive, the water waits for his errant shot and he can end up with a bogey instead of a birdie.

A straight hole with OB on the left and trees on the right. The landing area off the tee is narrow because of the trees on both sides. A clump of trees behind the green is beautiful.

A straight, relatively short par 4. The second shot is over water onto a slightly elevated green. The green is shallow and double-tiered with strong undulations.

17th　Par 4　420 yards (1)
A dogleg to the right, surrounded by trees. A long bunker on the right corner comes into play off the tee. There is water on the right side of the green, to which a right to left hitter pays attention.

 
18th　Par 5　559 yards
A dogleg to the left with a lake running on the right. There is another water hazard in front of the green, which limits landing areas of the second shot for a long hitter.
