Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 121 yards · averaged 4.48
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. 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 4 · 340 yards · averaged 4.77
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: A gust band, Water, 2 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 5 · 518 yards · averaged 4.55
Wind: 5 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The burn, 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.
Hole 4Par 5 · 503 yards · averaged 4.49
Wind: 9 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 4 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 5Par 4 · 309 yards · averaged 3.89
Wind: 5 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, 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 6Par 4 · 401 yards · averaged 4.02
Wind: 6 mph, helping, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, 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 7Par 4 · 404 yards · averaged 4.02
Wind: 9 mph, helping, left to right. 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.
Hole 8Par 4 · 429 yards · averaged 3.98
Wind: 9 mph, left to right. On the hole: The arm, 1 bunker, Leaf pile.
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 9Par 4 · 307 yards · averaged 4.52
Wind: 6 mph, left to right. 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.
