Front nine and back nine
The front nine plays to par 37 over 3,539 yards, and the back nine to par 36 over 3,543 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 7 and stroke index 18 is hole 12. 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.
