The plan for No. 7
The 7th at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is a 184.0-yard par 3 that plays straightaway.
Off the tee
Shinnecock's famed Redan 7th is a par 3 that plays every bit as tricky as its 184-yard scorecard number suggests, demanding precise trajectory control and an honest assessment of how the wind is affecting a green that tilts sharply away from the player. Course management here is less about power and more about picking the right entry point into a green that can reject even well-struck shots.
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 34 yards wide by 31.8 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)
