Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 347 yards · averaged 3.73
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Cart path, 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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 3 · 139 yards · averaged 4.42
Wind: 9 mph, against, left to right. 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 3Par 4 · 330 yards · averaged 3.61
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 4Par 4 · 363 yards · averaged 3.97
Wind: 7 mph, against, 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 5Par 4 · 328 yards · averaged 3.26
Wind: 7 mph, into you. 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 6Par 3 · 160 yards · averaged 3.42
Wind: 8 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 1 bunker.
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 7Par 6 · 901 yards · averaged 6.19
Wind: 12 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 8Par 5 · 563 yards · averaged 4.28
Wind: 8 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: 3 bunkers.
A long one at 563 yards. Keep both shots on the fairway — it rolls out nearly five times further than rough — and the green comes back to you.
Hole 9Par 5 · 508 yards · averaged 4.66
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: 3 bunkers.
A long one at 508 yards. Keep both shots on the fairway — it rolls out nearly five times further than rough — and the green comes back to you. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
