Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 499 yards
Wind: 13 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 2Par 5 · 548 yards
Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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.
Hole 3Par 3 · 146 yards
Wind: 11 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
146 yards, playing about 151 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 4Par 4 · 305 yards
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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 5Par 4 · 364 yards
Wind: 11 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 6Par 4 · 421 yards
Wind: 12 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The arm, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 7Par 4 · 398 yards
Wind: 9 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, 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.
Hole 8Par 4 · 351 yards
Wind: 12 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 9Par 4 · 337 yards
Wind: 10 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
