The course, hole by hole

Drawn from the scorecard — every bar is a hole, height is yardage, color is par.

USGA ratings per set. Slope is how much harder it gets when you're not scratch — 113 is neutral.

RED	4,413	70	62	101

Three honest reads, computed from this course's tee data — the same math the quiz uses. Fame is not fit.

A real chance to break 80 from the right tees.

Sixty seconds. No account. Your own answer — which tees, what you'll shoot, whether this course wants you — not the average golfer's.
