Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 3 · 128 yards · averaged 3.07
Wind: 5 mph, helping. 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 2Par 4 · 350 yards · averaged 3.40
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, Cart path, 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 · 347 yards · averaged 3.27
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: Portal green, Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers.

Hole 4Par 5 · 512 yards · averaged 4.44
Wind: 6 mph, helping. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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.

Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: Cart path, Water, 4 bunkers.
