Hole by hole
Hole 1Par 4 · 438 yards · averaged 4.05
Wind: 8 mph, right to left. On the hole: Portal green, The arm, A gust band, Cart path, 1 bunker, Jack-o'-lantern.
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 2Par 4 · 360 yards · averaged 3.52
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: The arm, 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 3Par 3 · 209 yards · averaged 3.69
Wind: 5 mph, helping. On the hole: A gust band, 1 bunker.
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 4Par 4 · 357 yards · averaged 4.02
Wind: 7 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: The arm, A gust band, 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 4 · 356 yards · averaged 3.60
Wind: 5 mph, helping, right to left. On the hole: 1 bunker, Jack-o'-lantern.
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 6Par 5 · 544 yards · averaged 3.42
Wind: Barely any wind (4 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 7Par 3 · 151 yards · averaged 3.05
Wind: 6 mph, helping. On the hole: 2 bunkers.
151 yards, playing about 148 with the wind — on paper an 8 iron. Aim at the front half: the green rolls out.
Hole 8Par 4 · 425 yards · averaged 3.77
Wind: Barely any wind (4 mph). On the hole: 3 bunkers, Jack-o'-lantern, The ghost.
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 9Par 4 · 310 yards · averaged 3.89
Wind: Barely any wind (2 mph). On the hole: Cart path, Water, 4 bunkers.
The cart path runs about twice as far as fairway. On a straight stretch it's worth aiming at on purpose.
