Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 394 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The arm sweeps a stretch of the hole and knocks the ball clear. You can't shoot around it, so land short of it or beyond it. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 2Par 6 · 842 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Water, 5 bunkers.
The arm sweeps a stretch of the hole and knocks the ball clear. You can't shoot around it, so land short of it or beyond it.
Hole 3Par 4 · 393 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike.
Hole 4Par 5 · 574 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 1 bunker.
A band of fast air crosses the hole. Fly over it or stay under it — what you can't do is hang the ball in it. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 5Par 3 · 207 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: 1 bunker.
207 yards, playing about 199 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 3 · 133 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Island green.
All carry and no bailout. Take enough club for the middle of the green — short is wet, and the thin collar only just holds.
Hole 7Par 4 · 335 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, 3 bunkers.
A portal green sits short of the real one. Sink it and you come out beside the pin — but a ball that misses it stops dead, so only go for it with a clean strike. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 8Par 4 · 437 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 9Par 4 · 353 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 2 bunkers.
A band of fast air crosses the hole. Fly over it or stay under it — what you can't do is hang the ball in it. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
