Highlight holes on the front nine include the right doglegging par five 3d, with players having to negotiate a pond in the middle of the fairway as it bends towards the green, and the par three 9th which plays slightly downhill to an open green with a couple of bunkers positioned behind the putting surface.
On the back nine, there are two very small islands in the lake at the north end of the peninsula and they’re put to good use at the 10th and 12th, with the putting surface for both these par three holes located offshore, requiring a precise carry across water from tee to green.
