Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 579 yards · averaged 4.57
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: A gust band, 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.
Hole 2Par 4 · 305 yards · averaged 4.18
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 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 3Par 4 · 409 yards · averaged 3.52
Wind: Barely any wind (1 mph). On the hole: Portal green, 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 4Par 4 · 398 yards · averaged 3.62
Wind: 7 mph, left to right. On the hole: A gust band, Water, 2 bunkers.

Hole 5Par 4 · 355 yards · averaged 3.43
Wind: 5 mph, left to right. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers.
Water guards this hole. Laying up short costs a few yards; finding it costs a stroke and a drop.
Hole 6Par 4 · 408 yards · averaged 3.94
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. On the hole: 3 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 7Par 4 · 404 yards · averaged 3.61
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). 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 5 · 470 yards · averaged 3.91
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). 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 9Par 4 · 338 yards · averaged 3.94
Wind: 16 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: The crossing.
Played island to island over open water. Each shot only has to reach the next stepping stone, so choose the club for the stone, not the flag. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
