HOLE1
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/11
  • BT.405Y
  • RT.383Y
  • LT.348Y

Hit a big shot toward the fairway and enjoy the thrill of a long drive. Beware of the direction of the tee shot to ensure you send your ball a long way down the fairway. The best position is slightly right of center. For the second shot, since the ball is lower than your feet, be careful not to top the ball. The correct club must be chosen for the oblong but shallow green.

HOLE2
  • PAR/5
  • HDCP/1
  • BT.500Y
  • RT.478Y
  • LT.421Y

The fairway turns to the left while sloping to the right. Aim the first shot to the left side of the fairway while being careful about the out-of-bounds zone on the right. Since it is a short par-5 hole, choose a club to carry the second shot to best place to approach the green from. The green, which slopes downward from front to back, requires an accurate shot both in terms of distance and direction. Make sure that you reach the green with three shots.

HOLE3
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/17
  • BT.324Y
  • RT.286Y
  • LT.261Y

The shortest par-4 hole. Since the first shot will drop in a narrow place with a large bunker on the right, carefully select your club and aim to the left side of the fairway. An accurate shot is required to find the two-tiered green protected by two bunkers. You have a chance to get a birdie, but don't push yourself and try to score a par at least.

HOLE4
  • PAR/3
  • HDCP/15
  • BT.190Y
  • RT.163Y
  • LT.133Y

You have no chance to hit the green if your ball lands in the large bunker short of the green. Hit the ball as high as possible toward the tilted green so that the ball stops there.

HOLE5
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/5
  • BT.367Y
  • RT.340Y
  • LT.307Y

Aim the first shot to the center of the relatively broad fairway and strike tee shot with all your might. If your ball lands in the right green-side bunker, hitting the green in regulation will be difficult. If you pass the bunker and narrowly hit the green, however, you will have a chance to score a birdie.

HOLE6
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/13
  • BT.365Y
  • RT.338Y
  • LT.306Y

A downhill left dogleg hole. For the first shot, it would be the best to aim to the right side of the fairway. If the ball lands in the left greenside bunker, don't push yourself and just try to get the ball out of the bunker. For the second shot, calculate the distance in consideration of the downhill green to hit an accurate shot.

HOLE7
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/3
  • BT.433Y
  • RT.382Y
  • LT.346Y

A par-4 hole with a large right dogleg. Hit the first shot toward the front bunker as seen from the tee. Accuracy and distance are important. Beware of the right side of the fairway.

HOLE8
  • PAR/3
  • HDCP/9
  • BT.199Y
  • RT.161Y
  • LT.129Y

Beware of the displayed distances because the distance differs depending on the teeing ground you use, and choose a proper club. For the tee shot, aim at the center of the green without regard to the front pond.

Back to top

HOLE9
  • PAR/5
  • HDCP/7
  • BT.526Y
  • RT.502Y
  • LT.369Y

An uphill par-5 hole toward the clubhouse. For the tee shot, avoid the left trees and aim right of center. You may be tempted to hit a draw, which goes farther, but the left side is dangerous. For the second and third shots, accuracy is required since you hit from a lie that easily causes hooks.

HOLE10
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/16
  • BT.382Y
  • RT.343Y
  • LT.298Y

The starting hole of the inward nine is a dynamic downhill par-4 hole that makes you feel nervous. Be careful of the first shot as it easily breaks to the right. Hit over the fairway bunker and aim to the left side of the fairway.

Back to top

HOLE11
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/12
  • BT.400Y
  • RT.382Y
  • LT.301Y

The perfect target for the first shot would be the mound on the right side of the fairway. In hitting the second shot aimed at the three-tiered green, confirm the pin location and beware of the direction.

HOLE12
  • PAR/3
  • HDCP/18
  • BT.178Y
  • RT.148Y
  • LT.115Y

To grab a birdie, avoid hitting the ball into the left front pot bunker. Hit the tee shot carefully in consideration of the yardage. Aim to reach the center of the green in one shot.

Back to top

HOLE13
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/2
  • BT.415Y
  • RT.395Y
  • LT.318Y

Aim the first shot to the mountain foot on the left side of the course that gently turns to the left. If you go for the shortest route, there will be a chance to reach the green in two shots. Since the fairway slopes to the right, you may end up with a slice.

HOLE14
  • PAR/5
  • HDCP/4
  • BT.544Y
  • RT.522Y
  • LT.468Y

A downhill par-5 hole that gently turns to the right. For the tee shot, relax yourself and hit the ball to the left of the greenside bunker. Since the second shot will drop in a place that slopes to the right, aim the ball to the left side of the fairway so that the ball will not land in the pond. Try your luck with your third shot (approach shot).

Back to top

HOLE15
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/10
  • BT.413Y
  • RT.391Y
  • LT.315Y

A slightly uphill and broad par-4 hole. Place the tee shot on the fairway without being deceived by the greenside bunkers on both sides. For the second shot, try not to force yourself to reach the green in two shots. Rather, reach the green with the third shot (approach shot). Try not to over-hit the shallow green.

HOLE16
  • PAR/4
  • HDCP/14
  • BT.393Y
  • RT.354Y
  • LT.323Y

A straight and flat par-4 hole on the top of the ridge. On a windy day, beware of the out-of-bounds zone on the right. The left side would be safe, but it would be difficult to reach the green. Either way, direction is important for the tee shot. For the second shot, avoid the bunkers on both sides of the green and aim at the flower garden in the back. Careful putting is required since the green is extremely undulating.

Back to top

HOLE17
  • PAR/3
  • HDCP/6
  • BT.197Y
  • RT.167Y
  • LT.130Y

For the tee shot, be careful not to allow the ball to land in the left pond or on the right slope. Choose a club that suits the downhill distance and aim at the center of the green.

HOLE18
  • PAR/5
  • HDCP/8
  • BT.538Y
  • RT.483Y
  • LT.417Y

In the finishing hole, enjoy a long drive by hitting your ball down the broad fairway. Aim the first shot at the tree on the right side of the fairway. If you hit a good second shot, you can try to reach the green with your third shot. Get the opportunity to sink a birdie with an accurate approach shot to the two-tiered green.
