The first five holes are laid up along the hilly slope. The par-5 sixth hole is probably the best with sweeping views of the mountains on the west and the Kuah bay on the right. From here on the fairways and remaining holes go down the slope though forested lands and greens towards a wetland where there is a lovely lake and then to a lovely valley of orchards.

Overall, with several bunkers, sand traps, water hazards and tricky fairways the course offers great challenges to even the experienced golfers.
