Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 134 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, 1 bunker.
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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 4 · 430 yards
Wind: 14 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 3Par 3 · 118 yards
Wind: 16 mph, helping. On the hole: Island green, A gust band.
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 4Par 3 · 211 yards
Wind: 17 mph, helping. On the hole: 1 bunker.
211 yards, playing about 198 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 5Par 6 · 507 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: The crossing, A gust band.
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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 6Par 5 · 475 yards
Wind: 17 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, Lava pool, 2 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 7Par 4 · 314 yards
Wind: 17 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, Lava pool, 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 8Par 4 · 329 yards
Wind: 16 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, 3 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 4 · 378 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. On the hole: The burn, The arm, Cart path, 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.
