The course is laid out in the traditional style with two loops of nine holes, having the tenth tee available as an alternative starting point.The first nine holes follow the outer perimeter of the course and run clockwise, whilst the second nine holes return on the inner, in an anti-clockwise direction.

The secret of a low score lies in the five par 3's. None of these is particularly long, except the 16th, which is slightly uphill and tends to play longer than its measured 184 yards. The wind can however cause problems with club selection, and all these greens are well protected. Any player who can make level par on these holes can lay the foundations of a good score.
