Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 175 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
175 yards, playing about 172 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 4 · 416 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, Water, Lava pool, 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 3Par 5 · 543 yards
Wind: 9 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 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 4Par 5 · 507 yards
Wind: 12 mph, right to left. On the hole: The burn, The arm, Cart path, 4 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 5 · 532 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Water, Lava pool, 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.
Hole 6Par 3 · 141 yards
Wind: 9 mph, helping, right to left. 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 7Par 4 · 373 yards
Wind: 9 mph, helping. 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.
Hole 8Par 4 · 351 yards
Wind: 7 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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.
Hole 9Par 4 · 407 yards
Wind: 9 mph, helping, right to left. 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.
