Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 5 · 571 yards · averaged 4.34
Wind: Barely any wind (3 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 2Par 4 · 389 yards · averaged 4.16
Wind: 7 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, 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.
Hole 3Par 3 · 170 yards · averaged 3.94
Wind: 8 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, 1 bunker.

Hole 4Par 4 · 416 yards · averaged 4.37
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, Cart path, Water, 2 bunkers, 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 5Par 6 · 828 yards · averaged 5.24
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 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.
Hole 6Par 4 · 433 yards · averaged 4.20
Wind: 7 mph, helping. On the hole: 1 bunker.
Fairway first. Rough keeps only 84% of your distance and stops the ball dead, so a shorter, straighter tee shot often finishes further up.
Hole 7Par 3 · 180 yards · averaged 3.19
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: 1 bunker.
180 yards, playing about 177 with the wind — on paper a 6 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 365 yards · averaged 3.60
Wind: 5 mph, helping. On the hole: 3 bunkers.
Fairway first. Rough keeps only 84% of your distance and stops the ball dead, so a shorter, straighter tee shot often finishes further up.
Hole 9Par 4 · 370 yards · averaged 3.37
Wind: Barely any wind (3 mph). 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.
