Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 376 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 2Par 4 · 362 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 4 · 436 yards
Wind: 11 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Water, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 4Par 5 · 571 yards
Wind: 13 mph, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 4 · 417 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 3 · 118 yards
Wind: 11 mph, helping, right to left. 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 7Par 3 · 209 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
209 yards, playing about 204 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 396 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, 4 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 4 · 332 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: The burn, 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.
