How to play this course
Every hazard on this nine, with the first thing to get right. Open a guide for the full plan.
- The crossing Pick a club that carries to the middle of the next island, not its far edge, because the ball still rolls after landing. Full guide →
- Chute Off the tee, take the longest club whose spread you trust — often a 5-wood or 4-iron rather than the driver — and aim at the middle of the narrowest part, not at the flag. Full guide →
- River and bridge Before aiming, look at where the river meets each edge of the fairway. Full guide →
- Island green Choose the club whose carry reaches the front of the green, not the flag, and allow for the wind before you lock the line. Full guide →
- Cart path On a long, straight links hole, aim a long club at the start of the path and let it run. Full guide →
- Sweeping arm Either lay up comfortably short of the circle, or carry far enough that rollout takes the ball past it. Full guide →
- Boulders Look along the line you are about to lock, not only at the flag. Full guide →
- Gust From the tee, a long club that crosses the band mid-flight is usually unaffected. Full guide →
