Shinnecock Hills Golf Club

The course

One of the five founding clubs of the United States Golf Association, Shinnecock Hills sits on rolling, windswept terrain near the eastern end of Long Island. The William Flynn layout has hosted the US Open five times, most recently in 2018, and is regarded as among the finest tests of championship golf in America. Its firm turf, exposed fescue, and constant sea breeze reward control over power.

Signature hole: The par-3 seventh, known as Redan, plays to a green that falls away from the player and demands a precise running approach.
