  • Generally, hole locations are tighter to the edges of greens than last year.
  • The hole locationĀ for theĀ 2nd hole is the most difficult in terms of scoring, sitting on the shelf on the left.
  • The pin on the 11th forces a player to take on the hazard if they need a birdie.
  • The hole location on the 13th requires a player to take on Rae's Creek to make an eagle.
  • The hole location on No. 18 is going to be an all-or-nothing proposition for players who go attacking.
