88 bunkers
12,735 sq yd of sand — 4.9 bunkers per hole on average.
685 sq yd
Largest bunker on the course — bigger than most tees.
469 sq yd avg green
Classification: Mid-size greens (~4,500 sq ft avg) — typical modern design. Standard target size — club selection matters more than shape.

19 doglegs
3 sharp, 16 moderate. Plotting a line off the tee matters more here than pure distance.
7 layup holes

The longest hole on the card — par 5. Know your layup number before you tee off.
88 bunkers · 41 greens · 22 fairway zones · 98 tee boxes · 1 water hazards.
