Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 341 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Water, 3 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 2Par 3 · 150 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
150 yards, playing about 156 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 3Par 3 · 179 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: 1 bunker.
179 yards, playing about 186 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.

Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 2 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 5Par 5 · 475 yards

Hole 6Par 4 · 352 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, Water, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 7Par 4 · 410 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, Lava pool, 4 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 8Par 4 · 343 yards
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 3 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 9Par 4 · 390 yards
Wind: 13 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
