The plan for No. 2
The 2nd at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is a 221.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
This lengthy par 3 demands a well-struck long iron or hybrid and total commitment to the target line—there's little room for error when the green sits guarded by a ring of sand and the hole plays to its full length. Course management here starts well before the swing, with wind reading and club selection determining success far more than any complex shot shape.
Approach & recovery
Choose a carry target with enough margin for your normal miss, using mapped hazard edges rather than a single yardage guess.
On the green
The green measures roughly 26.5 yards wide by 34 yards deep. Favor the section you can reach reliably and accept a longer putt instead of short-siding the hole.
Watch for
- Fairway bunker crossing the landing zone
- Greenside bunker (greenside)
