Hole 2 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course
Par 4 • 410 Yards • Oak Forest, Illinois
The second hole at George W. Dunne National Golf Course presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. This 410-yard challenge features a generous fairway that invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real test awaits at the green complex. The small, well-protected green demands an accurate approach shot, as missing the putting surface leaves golfers with challenging recovery shots. Without major hazards to navigate, this hole becomes a pure test of course management and shot execution. The elevated green adds visual intimidation while requiring golfers to commit fully to their approach. It's a hole where par feels like a victory and birdie opportunities must be earned through smart strategy and solid ball-striking.

This 410-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee with the fairway measuring just 12 yards wide at both the 200 and 250-yard marks. Consider hitting a controlled 3-wood or hybrid to find the narrow landing zone rather than forcing a driver.
With bunkers positioned at 390 yards, most approach shots will play from around 160-200 yards to a generous green measuring 4,877 square feet. The large target allows for aggressive pin-hunting if you've found the fairway.
Greenside bunkers at 390 yards guard the putting surface on this 410-yard hole. Any approach shot that comes up short or slightly off-line risks finding sand just 20 yards from the green.
The green's rectangular shape (41 yards by 24 yards) provides multiple pin positions and recovery options. Aim for the center of this large target to avoid three-putts and ensure a good angle for your next shot.
With identical 12-yard fairway widths at both 200 and 250 yards, there's no strategic advantage to bombing a driver. Focus on accuracy over distance to set up a manageable approach to the large green.
This 410-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
