Layout of hole 1, par 4: slight dog-leg right, a single fairway bunker and a green flanked by trees on both sides. Stroke index 13; 359 m from the white tee, 316 m from the yellow, 283 m from the red.

This par 4 features a slight left to right dogleg: hitting the tee shot to the left side of the fairway is recommended, thus have an open second shot towards the green that is protected by two trees on both sides.

Layout of hole 2, par 4 and stroke index 1 of the course: dog-leg left with a water penalty area in front of the green. 352 m from the white tee, 329 m from the yellow, 311 m from the red.

The most difficult Par 4 of the course: the layout includes a right to left dogleg with a green protected by a penalty area. Laying-up before the penalty area is suggested for mid-high handicap players, thus playing to the green from a more accessible angle.

Layout of hole 3, a short straight par 4: out of bounds on both sides and a small green. Stroke index 17; 297 m from the white tee, 286 m from the yellow, 249 m from the red.

A short par 4 with a treacherous green. Out of Bounds on both sides. Accuracy is key, and a drive with a slight fade is suggested to reach the green without further hazards.

Layout of hole 4, par 3: a water penalty area down the whole right side and a two-tier green guarded by bunkers. Stroke index 15; 135 m from the white tee, 128 m from the yellow, 93 m from the red.

Par 3 with a penalty area on its right. The two levels green represent the main difficulty of this hole; reading the green is key here.

Layout of hole 5, par 4: fairway with a wide landing area, a central bunker and a raised green sloping from right to left. Stroke index 7; 381 m from the white tee, 359 m from the yellow, 325 m from the red.

Fairway characterised by a wide first shot’s landing area. The two levels green with a growing left to right slope is a challenge for players of all levels.

Layout of hole 6, par 5: a long straight fairway with a large lake fronting the green. Stroke index 3; 480 m from the white tee, 457 m from the yellow, 431 m from the red.

Short Par 5 that can be reached in two shots by the longer and more experienced players. However, the green is protected by a wide lake, making sure that extreme accuracy with long irons is required. The three shots strategy is therefore recommended if no risks want to be taken.

Layout of hole 7, par 3: a wide lake to carry from the tee, out of bounds left and a bunkered green. Stroke index 5; 161 m from the white tee, 150 m from the yellow, 120 m from the red.

A long par 3 with a frontal penalty area and out of bounds to the left: a safe shot to the right side of the green is suggested.

Layout of hole 8, a short par 4: dog-leg right with a bunker in the landing area and a bunkered green. Stroke index 11; 258 m from the white tee, 243 m from the yellow, 229 m from the red.

A fun, reachable par 4 for longer players. The safest strategy here suggests laying up to the right side of the fairway, thus leaving an easy second shot to the green.

Layout of hole 9, a straight par 4: a small water feature near the tees, a fairway bunker and a wide green. Stroke index 9; 321 m from the white tee, 305 m from the yellow, 253 m from the red.

A straight par 4 without particular hazards. Pin positions here can make the hole more complicated than expected. Therefore it is always suggested to have a look at the pin position when on the tee box, thus to decide the best strategy and leaving the correct club selection for the second shot.

Layout of hole 10, a long par 4: a water penalty area left in the drive landing zone and a raised green guarded by a large pine. Stroke index 12; 338 m from the white tee, 338 m from the yellow, 297 m from the red.

A long par 4 with a penalty area on the left of the driver landing area. The elevated green is protected by a large pine tree on its left.

Layout of hole 11, a short risk-and-reward par 4: a narrow green drivable from the tee but well guarded by bunkers. Stroke index 14; 235 m from the white tee, 215 m from the yellow, 190 m from the red.

A classic “risk/reward” short par 4. The green can be reached with the first shot, but the shot must be extremely precise as the green is protected by two bunkers, making the final approach shot particularly delicate.

Layout of hole 12, a very long par 4: a large fairway bunker in the landing zone and a two-tier green guarded by two big bunkers. Stroke index 2; 390 m from the white tee, 368 m from the yellow, 313 m from the red.

A very long par 4 with a large fairway bunker coinciding with the drive landing area. Green on two levels protected by two large bunkers.

Layout of hole 13, a long par 3: a wide green open at the front, with no defences guarding the entrance. Stroke index 10; 189 m from the white tee, 157 m from the yellow, 131 m from the red.

Par 3 without remarkable difficulties except for its length. The wide, unguarded green accepts shots right from the front.

Layout of hole 14, par 5: a long gently curving fairway with central bunkers and a bunkered green. Stroke index 6; 484 m from the white tee, 457 m from the yellow, 417 m from the red.

A recovery par 5: a wide fairway allows for two comfortable, unforced shots for a safer attack on the green, which is protected by a small bunker.

Layout of hole 15, par 4: a narrow tee shot opening onto a wide fairway, with a raised and strongly contoured green. Stroke index 8; 338 m from the white tee, 320 m from the yellow, 290 m from the red.

Par 4 characterised by a narrow tee shot that opens up into a wide fairway.  The elevated green with an accented slope that forces treacherous pin positions represents the real difficulty of this hole.

Layout of hole 16, a short par 3: a three-tier green guarded by a bunker on the left side. Stroke index 18; 123 m from the white tee, 118 m from the yellow, 102 m from the red.

Short par 3 with a three-levels-green protected by a bunker on the left. 

Layout of hole 17, par 4: a gentle dog-leg left, a tree-lined fairway and a green beyond the service path. Stroke index 4; 358 m from the white tee, 322 m from the yellow, 276 m from the red.

A slight dogleg left. Skilled players with good distance control off the tee should opt for a 3-wood, playing it toward the right side of the fairway; doing so will allow an approach to the green without requiring any further particular strategy.

Layout of hole 18, a short par 3: a water penalty area in front and a green ringed by bunkers over some 30 metres. Stroke index 16; 124 m from the white tee, 111 m from the yellow, 91 m from the red.

A short but delicate par 3, defended by a frontal penalty area and bunkers around the green, extending horizontally for about 30 meters.
