Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 195 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: 1 bunker.
195 yards, playing about 189 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 2Par 5 · 543 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Lava pool, 4 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 · 380 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Portal green, Water, Lava pool, 1 bunker.
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 4 · 353 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping. 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.
Hole 5Par 6 · 506 yards
Wind: 18 mph, helping. 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.
Hole 6Par 4 · 432 yards
Wind: 5 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 7Par 5 · 555 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: 4 bunkers.
A long one at 555 yards. Keep both shots on the fairway — it rolls out nearly five times further than rough — and the green comes back to you.
Hole 8Par 4 · 335 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The burn, 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 9Par 3 · 136 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: 2 bunkers.
136 yards, playing about 135 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
