The course rating of 77 and slope rating of 149 indicate advanced difficulty, though multiple tee positions allow players to select distances that match their skill level. Visitors should assess their abilities before attempting this challenging layout.
The twelfth hole features two separate greens used on alternating days, changing the course layout with each visit. The fifth hole impresses with a waterfall and a statue of John Daly, adding a memorable visual element to the round.
