Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 546 yards · averaged 4.33
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Cart path, 3 bunkers, Kick boulder.
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 2Par 4 · 411 yards · averaged 3.33
Wind: 11 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 3 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 3Par 6 · 861 yards · averaged 6.00
Wind: 10 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 4 bunkers.

Hole 5Par 5 · 490 yards · averaged 4.67
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.
Hole 6Par 3 · 127 yards · averaged 3.00
Wind: 7 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 7Par 3 · 188 yards · averaged 3.00
Wind: 9 mph, right to left. On the hole: Water, 1 bunker.
188 yards, playing about 191 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 323 yards · averaged 4.33
Wind: 6 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: 4 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.
