Below is the green complex of the testing par4, 10th hole. The fairway is split into two with the tighter and more risk laden left route offering a much straighter line into the green.
If you take the safer route down the right side from the tee, you will have to deal with a bad angle of approach and a very tricky shot to get close to the flag.
The 11th tee area, note the bunker next to the tee which wraps around from the back of the previous hole's green. It's a chilling reminder that no less than 7 bunkers lie in wait on this hole should your long game desert you. It's a par 5 though, so there is always the opportunity for an eagle to get your score back on track.
Below is the green which sits close to a pond, seen here separating the 'B' nine from the 'C' nine. You can see a green and bunkers from the other nine hole loop across the pond.
The 12 hole is one of the more difficult greens to master. It's inspired by the 14th Green at Augusta national and pitches and rolls this way and that.
Legend has it that after a soul destroying 4 putt, a frustrated golfer scaled the rock outcrop that you can see here and jumped to his doom.
On completing their round his playing partners complained that the delay had done nothing for their games over the closing few holes.

The green at the short par 3, 14th hole is surrounded by trouble.
The 17th hole is a par 3 with an unusually long green. Depending on which tee and pin position
you are playing to, the hole can require anything from a short iron to a wood. 
Seems a bit like Pinehurst no.2 to me, with a slightly rougher appearance. Interesting to see the finished product
