Course notes

Course #2759 plays to a par of 44 over eighteen holes and 76 rooms of track — about 84 metres end to end. It is one of the gentler courses in the set: short holes, room to recover and few places to lose a stroke. The two nines are balanced: par 21 out and par 23 in.

The longest hole is hole 12, with 6 rooms and 3 turns. No hole is longer than par 3, so a good round here is mostly about holing the second putt. Short openers: holes 1, 2, 4 and 6 can be holed in one with the right pace.

Water comes into play on holes 15 and 18. The bridges on holes 15 and 18 have no rails — line them up square and use less power than you think. Slopes tilt the track on holes 1, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Corner banks on holes 2, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 let a medium-paced ball turn the corner by itself. On holes 1, 10 and 12 the cup sits in a bowl that gathers a slow ball. On hole 9 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 13 and 15; pick a side early. A fence with a narrow gap crosses the track on hole 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.
