Enhanced Content

Tough

The second hole at Olympia Fields Country Club (North Course) presents a deceptive challenge that has tested champions since hosting multiple major championships. This 446-yard par 4 demands precision from the opening tee shot, as the straight layout offers no forgiveness for wayward drives. The absence of dramatic hazards might fool players into complacency, but the hole's true defense lies in its demanding length and small green complex that requires surgical approach shots.

From the tee, golfers face a generous fairway that encourages aggressive play, yet the real test awaits in the approach. The compact green punishes anything less than precise iron play, making distance control paramount. This strategic par 4 exemplifies Olympia Fields' championship pedigree, rewarding thoughtful course management while penalizing overly aggressive tactics with difficult recovery shots.
