Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 332 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 2Par 4 · 327 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 2 bunkers.

Hole 3Par 3 · 189 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: 1 bunker.
189 yards, playing about 195 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 4Par 4 · 396 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 5Par 5 · 549 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: Water, 3 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 6Par 4 · 414 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.

Hole 7Par 4 · 335 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
Hole 8Par 3 · 154 yards
Wind: 5 mph, into you. 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 · 419 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Water, 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.
