Course by the Numbers
Calculated from 292 mapped features. Areas are measured directly from the polygon geometry.
50 bunkers
15,912 sq yd of sand — 2.8 bunkers per hole on average.
1570 sq yd
Largest bunker on the course — bigger than most tees.
627 sq yd avg green
Classification: Large greens (~6,500 sq ft avg) — tough 3-putt territory. Huge surfaces — a 40-ft putt is a common outcome even from a good shot.
1789 sq yd
Largest green on the course — a three-club difference front-to-back is possible.
14.83 ha of fairway
Total groomed playing surface across 32 fairway zones.
21 doglegs
6 sharp, 15 moderate. Plotting a line off the tee matters more here than pure distance.
15 layup holes
Best played as three-shot holes for anyone outside single figures — chasing them turns pars into doubles.
Hole 16: 592y
The longest hole on the card — par 5. Know your layup number before you tee off.
50 bunkers · 55 greens · 32 fairway zones · 150 tee boxes · 4 water hazards.
