Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 440 yards · averaged 4.44
Wind: 16 mph, against, right to left. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 2Par 4 · 304 yards · averaged 3.94
Wind: 9 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: The arm, Water, 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.
Hole 3Par 5 · 526 yards · averaged 4.31
Wind: 14 mph, against, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, 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 9Par 4 · 404 yards · averaged 3.83
Wind: 13 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Water, 2 bunkers, Leaf pile.
A pile of fallen leaves lies on the fairway. It plays like a bunker — 70% distance and capped at 160 yards — so keep the tee shot short of it or beside it. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
