Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 193 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
193 yards, playing about 186 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 2Par 3 · 141 yards
Wind: 10 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 3Par 4 · 309 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 4 · 395 yards
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, Lava pool, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 5Par 5 · 547 yards
Wind: 8 mph, left to right. 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.
Hole 6Par 4 · 310 yards
Wind: 6 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, Lava pool, 1 bunker.
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 7Par 4 · 421 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A rock sits in the landing area. It stops a rolling ball and kicks it hard up the hole: fly it, steer around it, or play the rebound for extra yards.
Hole 8Par 4 · 386 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, left to right. 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 9Par 4 · 427 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping, 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.
