Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 181 yards · averaged 3.25
Wind: 13 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 1 bunker.
181 yards, playing about 190 with the wind — on paper a 4 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 2Par 4 · 335 yards · averaged 3.39
Wind: 8 mph, right to left. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 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 3Par 4 · 412 yards · averaged 4.05
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: The burn, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, Water, 2 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 4Par 3 · 158 yards · averaged 4.96
Wind: 13 mph, against, right to left. 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 5Par 5 · 533 yards · averaged 4.70
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 4 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 6Par 4 · 350 yards · averaged 3.72
Wind: 11 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: 2 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 6 · 854 yards · averaged 6.39
Wind: 13 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Water, 6 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 4 · 317 yards · averaged 3.90
Wind: 12 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 3 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 9Par 4 · 346 yards · averaged 3.55
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
