Course Intelligence
Course Character
A 9-hole course rewards repeating decisions with better information: recalibrate wind, lie and target on the second pass rather than replaying the first plan. Blue Bay Golf is an 18-hole course at Landhuis Blauw in Curacao, with ocean views, a distinctive par-3 sixth hole and official course rules on its scorecard.

Major Risks
Limited official hole detail The official association listing confirms identity and 9 holes but does not provide a current hole-by-hole guide or conditions bulletin. Rural conditions The course is listed in a rural area; verify weather, turf and access conditions before travel. Changing second-pass targets On a 9-hole round played twice, wind, lie and pin context can change even when the hole is familiar.
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm current tees, pins, hazards and course access with the club. Use the first nine to learn wind and lies, then update the second-pass plan. Favor conservative targets until current Local Rules are confirmed. Recalibrate every loop
