Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 124 yards · averaged 3.81
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Island green, A gust band.
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 2Par 6 · 913 yards · averaged 5.95
Wind: 11 mph, helping. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 4 bunkers.
The burn cuts across on the diagonal. The short carry leaves a long approach; the long carry leaves a short one. Pick your price on the tee, or use the bridge. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
Hole 3Par 4 · 363 yards · averaged 3.64
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, Water, 3 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 · 362 yards · averaged 3.67
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, Lava pool, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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.
Hole 5Par 4 · 398 yards · averaged 3.62
Wind: 6 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The arm, Water, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 6Par 3 · 186 yards · averaged 3.19
Wind: 5 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
186 yards, playing about 182 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 7Par 4 · 382 yards · averaged 3.89
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, Cart path, 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.
Hole 8Par 4 · 383 yards · averaged 3.77
Wind: 6 mph, helping. On the hole: 1 bunker.
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 9Par 5 · 555 yards · averaged 4.62
Wind: 9 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. A following wind adds carry and roll here.
