Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 380 yards · averaged 3.83
Wind: 12 mph, into you. On the hole: Portal green, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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 2Par 4 · 311 yards · averaged 3.50
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: The arm, Water, 2 bunkers, Basalt rock.
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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 3Par 4 · 405 yards · averaged 3.67
Wind: 11 mph, into you. 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. Into the wind, take one more club than the yardage says.
Hole 4Par 5 · 479 yards · averaged 3.83
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.
A rock sits in the landing area. It stops a rolling ball and kicks it hard up the hole: fly it, steer around it, or play the rebound for extra yards.
Hole 5Par 4 · 437 yards · averaged 3.74
Wind: 7 mph, against, left to right. On the hole: Portal green, A gust band, Water, 3 bunkers, Basalt rock.

Hole 6Par 3 · 166 yards · averaged 3.69
Wind: 10 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, 3 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.

Wind: 7 mph, into you. On the hole: A gust band, Cart path, Lava pool, 3 bunkers.
