Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 192 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: 2 bunkers.
192 yards, playing about 194 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 2Par 5 · 319 yards
Wind: 20 mph, into you. On the hole: The crossing.
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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 3Par 5 · 510 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Water, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 3 · 139 yards
Wind: 6 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 5Par 5 · 555 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The arm, 4 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 · 380 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. 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.
Hole 7Par 5 · 539 yards
Wind: 5 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The arm, 4 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 8Par 4 · 402 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (1 mph). 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.
Hole 9Par 4 · 424 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Cart path, 4 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
