Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 398 yards · averaged 4.59
Wind: 18 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, Water, 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 2Par 5 · 478 yards · averaged 4.34
Wind: 12 mph, into you. On the hole: The burn, Portal green, The arm, Cart path, 3 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 3Par 3 · 144 yards · averaged 3.58
Wind: 14 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 4Par 4 · 337 yards · averaged 4.31
Wind: 13 mph, into you. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 5Par 4 · 401 yards · averaged 4.26
Wind: 13 mph, against, right to left. 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 6Par 4 · 307 yards · averaged 4.03
Wind: 15 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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 7Par 4 · 383 yards · averaged 3.76
Wind: 11 mph, into you. On the hole: Cart path, 2 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 8Par 5 · 501 yards · averaged 4.42
Wind: 16 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, 2 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 9Par 4 · 368 yards · averaged 3.59
Wind: 17 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Cart path, 2 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.
