Front nine and back nine
The front nine plays to par 32 over 2,136 yards, and the back nine to par 36 over 3,023 yards. Nassau is scored as three separate bets — front, back and the full eighteen — so the heavier back nine changes where a press is worth taking.
Where your strokes fall
Stroke index 1 is hole 3 and stroke index 18 is hole 13. A player receiving 6 shots takes them on the holes ranked 1 through 6. This is what decides a net skin, so it is worth checking before the first tee.
