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.

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