Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 192 yards
Wind: 14 mph, right to left. On the hole: 1 bunker.
192 yards, playing about 187 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 5 · 551 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 3 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.
Hole 3Par 5 · 583 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, A gust band, Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The burn cuts across on the diagonal. The short carry leaves a long approach; the long carry leaves a short one. Pick your price on the tee, or use the bridge.
Hole 4Par 4 · 395 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 4 · 311 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 4 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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 6Par 4 · 385 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 3 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 7Par 4 · 401 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Cart path, 1 bunker, Leaf pile.
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 8Par 4 · 344 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 3 · 154 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping, right to left. 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.
