Front nine and back nine
The front nine plays to par 36 over 3,233 yards, and the back nine to par 35 over 3,299 yards. Nassau is scored as three separate bets — front, back and the full eighteen — so the heavier front nine changes where a press is worth taking.
Where your strokes fall
Stroke index 1 is hole 13 and stroke index 18 is hole 5. 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.
