Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 416 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Water, 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.
Hole 2Par 4 · 384 yards
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Cart path, Water, 3 bunkers.

Hole 3Par 4 · 320 yards
Wind: 11 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 4Par 4 · 312 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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 4 · 342 yards
Wind: 8 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 3 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.

Hole 7Par 4 · 398 yards
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. 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.
Hole 8Par 3 · 145 yards
Wind: 8 mph, against, 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 9Par 3 · 132 yards
Wind: 6 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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.
