Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 204 yards
Wind: 14 mph, into you. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
204 yards, playing about 216 with the wind — on paper a 5 wood. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 2Par 4 · 357 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, right to left. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 3Par 4 · 423 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, 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.
Hole 4Par 5 · 528 yards
Wind: 17 mph, against, left to right. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 5Par 4 · 407 yards
Wind: 14 mph, into you. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker, Leaf pile.
A pile of fallen leaves lies on the fairway. It plays like a bunker — 70% distance and capped at 160 yards — so keep the tee shot short of it or beside it. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 6Par 4 · 335 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 3 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball right.
Hole 7Par 4 · 313 yards
Wind: 11 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 8Par 4 · 313 yards
Wind: 14 mph, into you. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 9Par 3 · 158 yards
Wind: 16 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.
