Royal Puff Call is opening its doors for fans for 4 days for enthralling play and unforgettable memories. Get ready to have your eyes opened to a new world of play with elite golfers set to compete on a magnificent Lynx. Hole one, par 4, 418 yd. Welcome to the championship opener. A demanding start into the coastal breeze. Players face a fairway that narrows with sea views directly in front of you. The green slopes front to back with subtle undilations. Club choice is key and any miss may cost a shot early on. Expect nerves and tactical precision right from the first te. Hole two, par 4, 353 y. This is the traditional first now played second. A hole running parallel to the Bristol channel with seaside bunkers threatening left. The safer playoff the tea is to the right. Opening up a short iron into a large subtly contoured green. Managing these contours will be key to avoiding three putts. Hole three, par 4, 425 y. A dog leg left by the sea. This hole demands a strong drive down the right to open up the angled approach. The green sits dangerously close to the beach and out of bounds left accuracy is non-negotiable. Anything offline could mean a penalty and windy conditions only amplify the risk. Hole four, par 4, 388 yards. Another long par four where the fairway bunker right can catch a loose T-shot. Avoid it and you’ll face a straight but lengthy approach to a plateau green guarded by bunkers front left and right. Beyond lies out of bounds with sea and beach. Precision and control is a must. Hole five, par 3, 212 yds. Royals calls longest par three climbing inland. A tiered green protected by seven bunkers makes club selection absolutely vital. The green itself is narrow and multilevel. Anything short or offline is almost guaranteed to find sand. Hole six, par five, 556 yd. This first scoring chance of the championship is reachable in two, but danger looms. Fairway bunkers are scattered across landing zones. The green is unprotected but is elevated and guarded by a low wall to the left. A solid second shot is essential to avoid trouble. Hole seven, par 4, 380 y. Players will favor a T-shot to the right to open up the angle in, but bunkers guard the fairway throughout. The green is further protected by a large front left bunker and another back right. Club selection and precision will separate good scores from bogeies. Hole 8, par 3, 122 yds. A deceptively short par three of just over 100 yards, but savage in test. The petite tiered green is surrounded by six monkers. Though it looks friendly, conditions can quickly turn it into a multi-shot ordeal. A short flick demands big respect. Hole nine, par five, 474 yds. A long dog leg left, returning players toward the sea. Layups must clear two cross bunkers about 70 yard short of the green, while three more guard the right side. The green is large, but deception lurks. Putting from the wrong side of the pin can yield high scores. Hole 10, par 4, 400 yd. Players will encounter a generous fairway, but the second shot is the challenge. A contoured green protected by bunkers on both flanks. The putting surface slopes subtly, demanding a careful approach and controlling spin to avoid running off the green. Hole 11, par 4, 361 y. An elevated tea presents stunning views of the Bristol Channel. Driving down the left opens the green approach, but the long narrow putting surface is surrounded by bunkers. Precision is rewarded. Anything offline invites a scramble to save par. Hole 12, par 3, 158 y. You’ll face swirling crosswinds on this par three with a modest yardage. The green is tricky with subtle slopes and mish hits can run off into the rough or sand. Club choice and wind reading are everything here. Hall 13, par five, 549 y. A long testing hall for the players which could reap reward with a drive that finds the fairway. Brave players may take this on in two, but the approach plays uphill, often into the wind, and the green slopes away from the player. Landing zones matter more than the distance. Hole 14, par 4, 433 yds. Another dog leg framed by grassy swailes. The fairway tightens near the corner, demanding surgical shot placement. The green is guarded particularly at the front right where a bunker waits to collect anything drifting that way. Hole 15, par three, 163 yds. A potential round wrecker in difficult conditions. A sloping green flanked by bunkers and influenced heavily by crosswinds. Club selection errors or a mit can instantly penalize with a high number. Hole 16, par 4, 422 yards. Known as one of the most strategic holes. A short par four where going for it over the left bunkers can yield reward, but failure leads to deep trouble. A narrow green sits below you. Fast and sloped approach control is vital. Hole 17, par 4, 430 y. Your final scoring chance before the grand stand finish. This par 4 sweeps uphill and right. Cross bunkers loom in the fairway, but aggressive players may attack in two. The narrow undulating green demands respectful placement off the third shot. Hole 18, par 5, 504 yd. A spectacular closing hole framed by the clubhouse and coastline. The T-shot demands respect, but the larger green is the real test. Steeply sloped with the potential to punish even a solid strike. A fitting end to a beautiful championship test at this year’s AIG Women’s Open.
