Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 377 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Cart path, Lava pool, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 2Par 3 · 192 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping. On the hole: Water, 3 bunkers.
192 yards, playing about 182 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 3Par 3 · 131 yards
Wind: 12 mph, helping. 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 4Par 5 · 509 yards
Wind: 13 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.

Wind: 15 mph, helping. 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. A following wind adds carry and roll here.

Hole 7Par 5 · 565 yards
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: 4 bunkers, Basalt rock.
