As for Kingsley 9, I've said my piece, but do have a question. What is the playability like in high wind? Or is wind not a factor at Kingsley?
I've played it quite a bit, and I can't recall wind ever making it unplayable. It's not quite as exposed as #2, where the wind can make the hole much tougher. It's somewhat protected by the hill and clubhouse behind it, and the mounds and surrounds in front of it. It obviously depends on what tees you're playing and where the pin is that day, as there about six different combinations you can wind up with. The wind will generally either be out of the north or south, which means you're dealing with cross winds from the west tee and playing it either downwind or into the wind from the south tee, at which case it plays (for me) anywhere between a five iron and a nine iron.
From the south tees, one would think playing it downwind would be much tougher, but when the pin is in the west bowl or on the shelf, you can use the backstop to an extent, and if it's on the south lobe, there's a fair amount of room front to back, especially with a short iron. In a headwind, the ball will obviously stop much quicker, so the longer iron isn't a problem.
From west tees, the preferred wind is out of the south, which will move the ball back toward the clubhouse. Basically you can hang it out over the inside of the boomerang and let the wind bring it back. Inside the boomerang is the preferred miss, so worst case scenario, you've got the easiest recovery. I think it actually plays easier when the wind is out of the south than when there's no wind blowing at all. When the wind is out of the north, I'm probably taking more club and playing a punch shot to keep it down, at least when the pin is in the bowl or on the shelf. It's kind of hit and pray when it's on the south lobe, but the good news there is that you're taking the ball out over the fat of the green, so if you play for too much wind, a well struck shot should still leave you putting.
One other thing to remember about that north wind is that while it makes #9 a little tougher, it's the easier wind on #5 (and probably the preferred wind on #2), and it's already given the golfer a pretty big advantage on #s 1, 3, and 6 (it's hurting on 4, 7, and 8, which are all pretty short approaches). As mentioned before, one of the things I like about Kingsley is how the wind can really make individual holes easier or tougher, but the course plays just about the same on the whole when the wind is in either direction.
I'd also take issue with Josh's comment that you can't miss left. First, left and right is relative depending on the tee you're playing. The only places you can't miss are a) up on the hill, and b) right of the green as viewed from the south tees. Anything inside the boomerang is very playable, and if the pin is in the bowl, there's really no excuse for not making a three. The other way you can get screwed on #9 (like just about every hole at Kingsley except #12) is if your shot rolls toward a bunker, but doesn't get all the way in. If it hangs up in the hair, it's big trouble.
