Hole 2 at George W. Dunne National Golf Course is a challenging par 4 with a slight dogleg right and a length of 410 yards from the championship tees. The hole has a handicap of 13, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course.

As you approach this hole, be aware that there is only one bunker to contend with, located on the left side of the fairway about 200 yards from the tee box. However, do not let this deceive you as there are also greenside bunkers present which account for approximately 3% of total bunker coverage.

The ideal strategy off the tee would be to aim slightly left in order to avoid both bunkers and leave yourself with an open view for your second shot. With average driving distance in mind (217 yards), consider using a hybrid or long iron instead of driver to ensure accuracy over distance.

From here, you will have around 210-230 yards remaining depending on your drive's length and placement. This puts most golfers in range for their longest iron or fairway wood shots. Keep in mind that altitude can affect ball flight conditions at this course location (Oak Forest, Illinois) so adjust accordingly based on weather conditions.

If played correctly, your approach should land you safely onto an expansive green area measuring at nearly 10,000 square feet - giving plenty room for error but still demanding precision due to its curvature and undulations.

Overall, Hole 2 requires both strategic thinking and precise execution if players want any chance at birdie or par scores. Be sure to take into consideration all factors including club selection and potential weather changes when approaching this challenging yet rewarding hole.
