Playing Hints:

There are only three water hazards here and they aren't too difficult, which is a good thing considering the amount of bunkers. We mentioned earlier that this is a course that loves to play poor players back and we really weren't kidding. You'll want to avoid these deadly bunkers at all costs. If necessary, play on the safe side until you can iron onto the green.

Although the holes are very straightforward, each one has no fewer than two bunkers that flank the green. They are deep and they are nasty. Play cautiously and choose your shots well. The one hole you really need to look out for is the seventh hole which is considered the most difficult for men and women. The key is to play right of center for your first two shots. From there, you'll have a clear view of how to make it onto the green without hitting the bunkers.
