Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 373 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 2Par 4 · 436 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, 4 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 3Par 3 · 150 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. On the hole: Island green, A gust band.
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 4Par 5 · 515 yards
Wind: 17 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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.
Hole 5Par 4 · 343 yards
Wind: 14 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Water, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 6Par 4 · 420 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping. 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 7Par 3 · 139 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
139 yards, playing about 133 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 5 · 531 yards
Wind: 16 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 9Par 4 · 331 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
Fairway first. Rough keeps only 84% of your distance and stops the ball dead, so a shorter, straighter tee shot often finishes further up. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
