Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 6 · 862 yards
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Water, 5 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 2Par 5 · 508 yards
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, 4 bunkers.

Hole 3Par 4 · 323 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Water, 3 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 4Par 4 · 433 yards
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, 2 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.
Hole 5Par 4 · 310 yards
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 3 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 4 · 410 yards
Wind: 8 mph, left to right. 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.
Hole 7Par 3 · 141 yards
Wind: 8 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
141 yards, playing about 144 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 3 · 120 yards
Wind: 10 mph, against, 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 9Par 4 · 338 yards
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: 2 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.
