Challenging

As the number one handicap hole at TPC Boston, hole 2 demands respect from the very first swing. This par 5 stretches 542 yards and bends dogleg right around a corridor of dense woods lining the left side, forcing golfers to commit to a precise tee shot strategy. Long hitters may be tempted to challenge the corner, but the reward comes with risk—water lurks near the green, guarding the putting surface alongside a pair of well-placed bunkers. The approach shot requires careful club selection to avoid the greenside sand and water hazard. This demanding two-shotter-turned-three-shotter rewards strategic patience over raw power, making it an unforgettable early test.
