Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 193 yards
Wind: 7 mph, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
193 yards, playing about 195 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 2Par 4 · 375 yards
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Cart path, 4 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 3Par 6 · 827 yards
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 4 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 4 · 319 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 5Par 4 · 400 yards
Wind: 10 mph, helping, 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.
Hole 6Par 4 · 404 yards
Wind: 8 mph, helping, right to left. 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 7Par 3 · 134 yards
Wind: 7 mph, 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 8Par 5 · 542 yards
Wind: 6 mph, right to left. 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 9Par 4 · 437 yards
Wind: 6 mph, right to left. 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.
