Hole 1 (Par 4)
A short Par 4 that sets the tone early. Accuracy off the tee matters, with trouble left and out of bounds right. Leaving the driver in the bag may be the smart choice if par is the goal. On the approach, avoid going long—there’s a steep drop-off behind the green.
Hole 2 (Par 4)
A long and demanding hole with plenty of room off the tee. Watch for the hazard on the right and the large tree guarding the centre of the fairway. This is a spot to take the driver. The second shot plays into a well-protected, undulating green. A par here is a strong result.
Hole 3 (Par 3)
This Par 3 appears straightforward, but positioning is key. If you miss the green, short is the safest option. Right brings a deep bunker and a green that runs away; left isn’t much better, with rocks and a drop-off that demand a confident short-game recovery.
Hole 4 (Par 4)
A straightaway Par 4 that looks simple from the tee. Don’t be fooled—any miss right is out of bounds. The approach plays uphill more than it appears, so take enough club to reach the generously sized green.
Hole 5 (Par 5)
The more forgiving of the two Par 5s. Favor the right side off the tee to set up your second shot. Long hitters may consider going for it in two, but the smart play is a layup toward the 100-yard marker. The green is well guarded by bunkers on both sides.
Hole 6 (Par 3)
Como’s signature hole features an elevated green. Take extra club and commit to the carry over the pond. The right side should be avoided, as balls tend to funnel into the valley (affectionately known as Hart's Alley), leaving a demanding up-and-down.
Hole 7 (Par 4)
A short dogleg left with out of bounds lining the entire left side. Aim your drive left of the large tree on the right unless you enjoy recovery shots. One of the fastest greens on the course—smart play here can be well rewarded.
Hole 8 (Par 5)
A true test that rewards solid decision-making. Start with a confident drive down the middle. The second shot is framed by hazards on both sides, including a long pond. On your third, avoid the bunker beyond the green—arguably the toughest spot on the course. Putts here consistently break toward the pond.
Hole 9 (Par 3)
The most approachable hole on the course. The primary challenge is the bunker guarding the front of the green. Left is the preferred miss, offering an uphill putt and a genuine birdie opportunity.
