Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 475 yards · averaged 4.60
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: 2 bunkers.
A long one at 475 yards. Keep both shots on the fairway — it rolls out nearly five times further than rough — and the green comes back to you.
Hole 2Par 4 · 408 yards · averaged 3.59
Wind: 6 mph, right to left. 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.
Hole 3Par 5 · 479 yards · averaged 4.22
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). 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.
Hole 4Par 6 · 805 yards · averaged 5.52
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 5 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 5Par 3 · 133 yards · averaged 3.11
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Cart path, Water, 1 bunker.
133 yards, playing about 133 with the wind — on paper a pitching wedge. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 6Par 4 · 375 yards · averaged 3.53
Wind: 9 mph, 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. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 7Par 4 · 389 yards · averaged 3.72
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). On the hole: Portal green, 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 8Par 5 · 422 yards · averaged 5.54
Wind: 21 mph, right to left. On the hole: The crossing.
Played island to island over open water. Each shot only has to reach the next stepping stone, so choose the club for the stone, not the flag. Allow for the wind pushing the ball left.
Hole 9Par 3 · 132 yards · averaged 3.11
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). 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.
