2 and 8 are definitely scoring holes, just gotta earn it.
Which can also get players into trouble. If they miss their chance on two it’s like they feel t he need to make it up somewhere else on the front 9, so they don’t make smart choices. Especially those front 9 Par 3s that can be downright nasty as well (12 gets all the fanfare, but there’s three pain in the ass Par 3s on that course, with 3 ‘easy’ Par 5s when lesser courses have it the opposite.
11 is also a great hole for drama to lead into the scoring stretch because the scores can vary so much. Play it great you’ve got a birdie, play it bad you’re trying to save bogey.
So yeah, the perfect golf course basically.
