Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 379 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: 3 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.
Hole 2Par 7 · 1153 yards
Wind: 12 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 6 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 3Par 4 · 381 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 4Par 3 · 163 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. 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 4 · 424 yards
Wind: 10 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, 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.
Hole 6Par 4 · 328 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, 3 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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 4 · 304 yards
Wind: 6 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 8Par 3 · 191 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: 1 bunker.
191 yards, playing about 198 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 9Par 4 · 379 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, 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.
