Course notes

Course #2757 plays to a par of 46 over eighteen holes and 70 rooms of track — about 77 metres end to end. It sits in the middle of the set: nothing extreme, but enough slopes and turns to need a plan on most holes. The back nine is where the course bites: par 19 out, but par 27 on the way in.

The longest hole is hole 13, with 6 rooms and 2 turns. Only hole 13 is a par 4: play it in two careful stages. Short openers: holes 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 can be holed in one with the right pace.

Water comes into play on holes 9, 10, 11, 13 and 17. The bridge on hole 11 has no rails — line it up square and use less power than you think. Slopes tilt the track on holes 5 and 11. Corner banks on holes 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 16 and 18 let a medium-paced ball turn the corner by itself. On holes 9, 10, 11 and 12 the cup sits in a bowl that gathers a slow ball. On holes 7, 8 and 17 the cup is perched on a hill that sheds a slow ball — come in dead straight and a touch firmer. Blocks stand in the middle of a room on holes 15, 16 and 18; pick a side early. Fences with a narrow gap cross the track on holes 13 and 16.

How to play it

• On a bridge without rails, the putt that matters is the one before it: get the ball into the middle of the room, square to the bridge, and the crossing becomes a straight putt.
• On a hill hole, a putt that stops short rolls back to you. Better to be slightly long and straight than delicate.
• Treat each slope like a stream: aim upstream of the line you want and let the slope bring the ball down to it.
• Send the ball into a corner bank at medium pace. Too hard and it rattles back across the room; too soft and it dies on the bank.
• Use Hint when you are stuck: it shows a good line from where the ball lies, the same line the computer would choose.
