Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 319 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 3 · 136 yards
Wind: 17 mph, helping. 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 3Par 3 · 146 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: 1 bunker.
146 yards, playing about 143 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 4Par 7 · 1101 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 6 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 5Par 4 · 354 yards
Wind: 12 mph, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 6Par 4 · 308 yards
Wind: 15 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 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 left.
Hole 7Par 4 · 321 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 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 8Par 4 · 361 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 5 · 325 yards
Wind: 19 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The crossing, A gust band.
Played island to island over open water. Each shot only has to reach the next stepping stone, so choose the club for the stone, not the flag. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
