Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 367 yards
Wind: 14 mph, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 5 · 566 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping. 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 3 · 129 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. 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 4Par 4 · 440 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 3 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 5Par 3 · 148 yards
Wind: 14 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.
148 yards, playing about 140 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 3 · 139 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. 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.
Hole 7Par 5 · 482 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 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 · 326 yards
Wind: 13 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 9Par 5 · 430 yards
Wind: 20 mph, helping. On the hole: The crossing.
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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
