Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 486 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 2Par 4 · 352 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 4 · 427 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 4Par 3 · 157 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping, 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 4 · 347 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping. On the hole: 2 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 6Par 3 · 212 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. On the hole: 1 bunker.
212 yards, playing about 201 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 7Par 4 · 372 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 8Par 4 · 389 yards
Wind: 15 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The burn, The arm, Cart path, Water, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 9Par 4 · 426 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. On the hole: 2 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
