US OPEN '23: Hole by hole look at Los Angeles Country Club -
No. 1, 590 yards, par 5: For only the third time in the last 20 years, the U.S. Open opens with a true par 5 . This is short by modern standards with a speed slot that can make it seem shorter. The green is protected by a bunker and slopes to the left.
No. 4, 228 yards, par 3: The first par 3 is shorter than the yardage because of a 30-foot drop in elevation. Bunkers are front right and back left, but the barranca front the green and could present the biggest challenge. No. 7, 284 yards, par 3: The barranca runs left and then cuts in front of the green, though it leaves ample room for tee shots to land short and run onto the green. A long bunker with fingers of grass lurk along the right side of the green.
No. 10, 409 yards, par 4: The tee shot should avoid a large bunker complex on the right, and the fairway slopes hard to the left. The approach will be a short iron at most, but the green slopes severely to the front and only the upper part of the flagstick is visible. No. 13, 507 yards, par 4: The tee shot crosses a deep valley can’t be seen and should be on the left side to avoid the pronounced left-to-right slope. Anything too far right, if it’s not in the rough, leave a blind second shot. A bunker is to the right, but it’s otherwise closely mown turf that allows for options on a recovery shot.
